Thank you! So why do you need to set it to ja_JP.Shift_JIS if ja_JP.CP932 and ja_JP.SJIS do the same thing? I'm not convinced that adding Shift_JIS to Cygwin as another alias for CP932 is a good idea, because they aren't actually the same, e.g. iconv treats them as different charsets. The SJIS alias is dodgy enough already.
