Real world failure for Cygwin on NFS:

wget 'http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/ksh93u+m/ksh93u+m_1.0.4.orig.tar.gz
cd ksh-1.0.4
$PWD/bin/package make

This fails with Cygwin 3.4.8-1:

cat buildlog.log
package: update
/cygdrive/z/arbeitdfn/windows_ksh/build_nfsv3/ksh-1.0.4/bin/execrate
package: initialize the

If you need more examples just let me now, we have MUCH more of that...

Thanks,
Martin
