Diff-ing cygcheck outputs between 1.1.4 and 1.1.5-3, I determined
exactly what is the root cause.  I had my TMP variable set as follows:

    export TMP=$SYSTEMDRIVE\\tmp

just in case some Windows programs were using this variable.  In 1.1.4,
the TMP (and TEMP) environment variable was automagically converted
into a POSIX style path, while in 1.1.5-3 it remained unchanged.  Hence,
I was bitten by the unmounted drives defaulting to text mode feature.

Thanks,
Jason
