Since many people mentioned that they opened the files in question in vim
and did not see unusual line endings, here's some non-Cygwin-specific, but
relevant, vim info:

By default, when vim loads the file in which *all* line endings are CR/LF,
it will display the file normally, but show "[dos]" in the status line.
It's easy to miss if you're not watching for it.  That property can also
be queried using "set fileformat?".

This behavior can be turned off globally by "set fileformats=unix".

Alternatively, "vi -b myfile" will open myfile in binary mode, and will
display all CR/LF line endings.
