What version of coreutils are you using?  Attach the output of `cygcheck 
-svr' as described in cygwin.com/problems.html, then consider upgrading.

I am attaching cygcheck in case you can find something obvious. 
However,I am reluctant to upgrade because the use of large static 
fortran arrays with cygwin/g77 seems to be a fragile issue and my 
current installation is now working (but only with -mno-cygwin).

On further reflection, this is not a problem I can safely ignore, since 
I use cygwin scripts for my backup routines.  I tried rebooting and 
chkdsk to no avail, then tried to reproduce the problem, and found that 
I can reproduce it with the following script. (Which in fact I used 
before, but forgot about.)  It is a newly written script, thus a likely 
suspect for the newly encountered problem.

Sorry about appending cygcheck.out as well as attaching it.  Must have 
hit a wrong button.
