When you say the buffer is tied to an svn repository, do you mean you're 
using emacs as your commit editor as in the following report?

   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-10/msg00375.html

If so, it's a bug in emacs-24.2 that has been fixed upstream for 
emacs-24.3.  If not, more details would be helpful.

If possible, please give a recipe for producing the problem, starting 
with 'emacs -Q'.  Also, say whether you're running emacs in a terminal 
or under X.  Finally, please attach cygcheck output as requested here:
