OK, fair enough.  We have a service agreement with NetApp so I'm
probably going to talk with my IT department to get a ticket opened on
this issue.

In the meantime I'm still having problems.  Apparently, even though
commenting out the SE_BACKUP_NAME privilege fixed direct OS calls from
breaking, the stat() function is still returning incorrect information.
So I'm digging through Cygwin source now to try and find out why that
is.  (sigh)

I'll keep the group posted on any findings I have, both for a workaround
and from NetApp.

Thanks for the help,
