I am a brand new user of cygwin and I'm already having troubles.  Whenever I
grep or cat or otherwise dump the contents of a text file to stdout, there
are extra spaces between all characters.  For instance, if file abc.txt
contains:

This is abc file

then, `cat abc.txt` returns

T h i s  i s  a b c  f i l e

Anyone know what might cause this?
