hi,

I confirm that, there is something fishy here.

this one is from XP

REJAP AT rzuem5008 ~
$ mkshortcut -n "Ifor cygwin bin" /c/cygwin/bin

REJAP AT rzuem5008 ~
$ mkshortcut -n "I for cygwin bin" /c/cygwin/bin
Aborted (core dumped)


and this one out of Win7 32

rejap AT win7dev ~
$ mkshortcut -n "I for cygwin bin" /c/cygwin/bin
Aborted (core dumped)

rejap AT win7dev ~
$ mkshortcut -n "Ifor cygwin bin" /c/cygwin/bin


What is interesting, both links lnk file exist and are identical.


Cheers,
Pawel
