Robert,

I get the same results. Probably it's that Cygwin text vs. binary thing. 
Dumping the file with "od -c" is the most illustrative of why the grep fails.

Show us your CYGWIN environment variable setting, your mount table and 
confirm that the directory displayed in your prompt is the current 
directory in which you're running the commands you specify.

On my system:

% /bin/pwd
/cygdrive/c/SD/tau/src/tau/fol
%
% echo $CYGWIN
binmode ntsec
%
% pwd
/c/SD/tau/src/tau/fol
%
% ls -l /c
lrwxrwxrwx    1 RSchulz  None           94 Nov 21  2001 /c -> /cygdrive/c
%
% mount
D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system 
(binmode)
D:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
D:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
D:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
\\.\A: on /dev/fd0 type user (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount)
e: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode,noumount)
g: on /cygdrive/g type user (binmode,noumount)
h: on /cygdrive/h type user (binmode,noumount)

% cat >file
one.doc
^D
%
% od -c file
0000000   o   n   e   .   d   o   c  \r  \n
0000011
%
% grep .doc$ file
