Hmmm - neither win2k nor the fact that you use a CVS libc should affect
that (I think) - it should still find dos-djgpp as system.  What does
'uname -a' print?

LFN issues should be irrelevant to case sensitivity issues.  Since
cygwin is also a case-insensitive environment, I expect any such
problems have long been ironed out.

That's most likely a bash issue (possibly related to stdin seeks or
termcap).
