Hello,

there are 3 coreutils versions in cygwin: 8.26, 8.32 and 9.0.

8.32 has a big bug on "cp" that leaks file descriptors. Copying many
files it dies with Too many open files.

9.0 has a bug that makes any chmod fail silently if it is applied to
symlink.

Both bugs have the impact that we are stuck to coreutils 8.26 for our
build scripts, that use 'cp -R' and 'chmod -R' and would otherwise fail.

Can someone update to a newer coreutils? 9.1 or later.

(I'm not subscribed to the list, please keep me in Cc)

Thank you,
Lluís
