In the snapshot since 19990122, `binmode' specified by the
CYGWIN variable or the mount flag, has no effect on fopen()
without binary flag "b". This is incompatible with the previous
release.

This problem is caused by fhandler.cc:311.

310:  int bin;
311:  if (flags & (O_BINARY | O_TEXT))
312:    bin = flags & O_TEXT ? 0 : O_BINARY;
313:  else if (get_device () == FH_DISK)

fopen() always set O_BINARY or O_TEXT to the `flags'. I think
this should check only O_BINARY flag, same as the previous
release.
