I guess start with the standard stuff like the cygcheck info.  Maybe try
running this with 'strace' and look at the results.  Send anything strange
along.  'ls -l symlinked_file' might be helpful as well.  FWIW, I tried
this too with 1.5.3 and I'm in Chris's camp (although I have to say I'm
a throw-back that still uses 'nowinsymlinks' when I'm not running the
above test. ;-) )
