When you say "true" ls.exe what do you mean? If your talking about the
one that came with cygwin, stock ls, then it's going to use the
cygwin1.dll.

I tried your "testcase" and did it so much my bash history is at 1039.
All worked perfectly.

I don't suppose you have some *large files* in your /tmp directoy do
you? Perhaps over the 2GB limit?
