Subject: Cygwin mistakes directories for character devices
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.33.0201261944350.20907-100000@Inches.coe.neu.edu>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Create a directory named "comX" where X is a number.
ls the directory and it will come up as a character device.
This shouldn't be happening unless the directory is under /dev.
