I tried the 20061023 snapshot with the rewdir.c program from
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-02/msg00183.html
and it works!

$ rm -rf /cygdrive/u/foo; mkdir /cygdrive/u/foo; touch /cygdrive/u/foo/{bar,baz,quux,quuux,quuuux}
$ ./rewdir.exe /cygdrive/u/foo/
got: .
got: ..
got: bar
got: baz
got: quux
got: quuux
got: quuuux
rewinding.
got: .
got: ..
got: bar
got: baz
got: quux
got: quuux
got: quuuux
rewinding.
got: .
got: ..
got: bar
got: baz
got: quux
got: quuux
got: quuuux
rewinding.

many thanks for the fix!
