Just updated my Cygwin. If I use cp to copy a file, in this case an 
executable, I get "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" when I try to 
run the copied file.

The copied file also now differs from the original.

$ ls -l /bin/sum.exe
-rwxr-x---+ 1 sam Users 26624 Dec 21 02:32 /bin/sum.exe

$ cp /bin/sum.exe copysum.exe

$ ls -l copysum.exe
-rwxr-x---  1 sam None 26713 Dec 22 14:35 copysum.exe

$ cmp /bin/sum.exe copysum.exe
/bin/sum.exe copysum.exe differ: char 119, line 1

$ ./copysum.exe
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.


Anybody else experiencing this? I have tested this out on three different 
computers that have been updated today, all produce the same results. On a 
box thats running the older cygwin, cp copies the files exactly and I have 
no trouble running them.


Thanks,
Sam
