I can do whatever I like I cannot get rid of those 0d0d0a at the end of
each line in the tmp file! I mounted the filesystem as text and played with
the CYGWIN env variable. Whenever I redirect multi-line output from a
standard windows program I get those endings. The tmp file looks like this:

00000000: 0d0d 0a31 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020  ...1
00000010: 2020 2020 2020 200d 0d0a 2d2d 2d2d 2d2d         ...------
00000020: 2d2d 2d2d 2d2d 2d2d 2d2d 2d2d 2d2d 0d0d  --------------..
00000030: 0a20 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020  .
00000040: 2020 2020 2d0d 0d0a 0d0d 0a20 2031 2072      -......  1 r
00000050: 6563 6f72 6428 7329 2073 656c 6563 7465  ecord(s) selecte
00000060: 642e 0d0d 0a0d 0d0a

And all I do is "db2 select ... " >tmp
So why is this so?
