What does the output of "mount" say?  My WAG is that your mounts are
"text" rather than "binary".  Wiping and reinstalling as "UNIX" mode
is the safest way to get you back to binary mounts.  If this isn't
the solution for you for some reason, then please follow the problem
reporting guidelines given here - <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.
You might try comparing any differences you see in the 'cygcheck'
output (as recommended by the problem reporting guidelines) between
your two machines too.
