Cygwin 1.7.12-1 on W7 in both cmd and mintty consoles

ls -og /dev does not show com1, but

$ ls -og /dev/com1 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw-rw- 1 117, 0 2012-04-04 12:06:40 /dev/com1
crw-rw-rw- 1 117, 0 2012-04-04 12:06:40 /dev/ttyS0

Is this as expected?

(I note that
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-posixdevices
says to use /dev/ttyS0 instead of /dev/com1.  So I'm not asking that anything
be done)
