I have been fighting a problem with a compiled C program and seem to have
narrowed it down.  When file names contain special characters such as the n
with the tilde above it (ņ), stat() works fine on 32 bit machines, but fails
on 64 bit machines (both windows 7 and server 2008 R2).  

At the end of the this email is source code of a small test program to
demonstrate the issue.  Of course, the C:\ directory must contain the
Maņana.doc and Manana.doc files.  I can provide a compiled version if
needed.  The program is compiled on Cygwin version 1.5.25, GCC version
3.4.4.

On 32 bit machines, stat() succeeds for both files, on 64 bit machines, the
stat() of Manana.doc  succeeds but Maņana.doc fails.

Can someone please test and confirm if this is, indeed, a bug?

Thanks,
Leon V
