The problem can be more subtle than this.  If only *SOME* of your
directories
are mounted as binary (such as "/tmp") then CYGWIN32 can get confused
about
the desired format of a text file if a temporary file must be created.
It's safest to
either mount all directories as binary or mount none of them as binary.
