Mark,

I cannot reproduce your problem, but perhaps it's an interaction with FAT 
file systems and Windows '98? I have Windows 2K Pro and only one FAT 
volume, but the command you gave works fine for me on both my NTFS and my 
FAT volumes. There's also the possibility of this being an issue with your 
CYGWIN environment variable including "ntea". Do you have sharing enabled 
on the volume or folder in question? Is the target on an SMB share? If so, 
is it a Windows server? Samba? Something else?

The fact that re-compiling gives you a working version makes me ask if 
you're trying the same invocation (using the new binary) in the same 
directory as the failing attempt?

Have you done a "CHKDSK /F" (or whatever the Windows '98 equivalent is) lately?

Grasping at straws, I know...

Randall Schulz
