Using cygwin-1.7.11-1 cygwin1.dll mknod works as expected
$ cd /tmp/
$ mknod ccc c 5 1
$ ls -l ccc
crw-rw-rw-  1 Ladis None     5, 1 Apr 19 13:47 ccc

However with cygwin-1.7.13-1 I get:
c?????????? ? ?     ?           ?            ? ccc
$ ls -l ccc
ls: cannot access ccc: No such device or address

Looked at CVS changelog and it is scary...

Thank you,
     ladis
