In 2007:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-07/msg00313.html

It turned out to be a Windows issue, not bash or Cygwin:

Corinna dug into the issue:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-07/msg00335.html

I'm sorry, I don't have a lockable USB stick to hand*.
Q1. Is the "laughably simple ... fix" that was "tested" (presumably 
successfully) now implemented in Cygwin?
Q2. If not, can it be?

* Sorry, I know that's a pathetic excuse and I really ought to answer Q1 
myself.
