Indeed, and I can't reproduce this, neither in Cygwin 1.5.25, nor in Cygwin 1.7. The only difference between your and my run is that I'm using the cmd mklink builtin rather than the junction tool, like this: $ cmd /c mklink /j junctionfile targetfile Junction created for junctionfile <<===>> targetfile $ cmd /c mklink /j junctiondir targetdir Junction created for junctiondir <<===>> targetdir BLODA?
