Are you using NFS?  I encounter problems with NFS, too, once in a while.
I even added some workarounds in Cygwin at one point.  For instance, if
you append data to a file and then, with still open file descriptor,
call fstat, the file size will reflect the size before the append.  The
MS NFS is not very reliable in keeping up with changes to metadata.  A
change in Cygwin actually calls FlushFileBuffers before fetching
metadata on a descriptor open for writing.  There may be other problems.
