As I think I mentioned in my original message, doing an explicit
'set CYGWIN=binmode' gives the expected behavior -- that is, there
will be no '\r' in the output.  (But, according to the User's Guide,
this should not be necessary since "pipes and redirection always
use binary mode in non-Cygwin shells".)
