Subject: How to strictly differentiate <file>.exe with <file> ???

Hello,

I have an issue with the latest version of Cygwin (previously I was using an old one 1.5.25, I think...).
When using basic commands such as 'ls', 'rm', now the shell resolve incorrectly filenames without extension.
If a same file with '.exe' extension exists, it will be used.

For example, take a directory with a single file 'a.exe'.
$ ls -a
.  ..  bar.exe
$ ls bar
bar
$ rm bar
rm: remove regular empty file `bar'?

The command should have returned 'rm: cannot remove `bar': No such file or directory'

If I want to delete only 'bar' (without extension), it will actually delete 'bar.exe' file. This is an unexpected behavior which pose an big issue in some of my build scripts.

Is there some way to strictly differentiate 'bar' from 'bar.exe'?

Thank you.
