In my experience, patch does exactly the same thing under 1.1.4 and
1.1.5.

It seems to be controlled by the value of your "TMP" (or possibly
"TEMP") environment variable.  If that is set to a directory that is
mounted as text, then the resulting file has \r\n line endings.

If you can give me a simple test case which illustrates the problem
I will investigate it.  Please include the cygcheck -r -s -v output
for both the failing and succeeding cases.
