> I'm using a cygwin bash shell on a Windows 2000 Server The hard work the Cygwin team has put in to porting the GNU utilities to Windows is greatly admired. However the GNU team generally uses UNIX systems and do not have access to Cygwin systems. Most of us can't help. It would be most appreciated if you would make your bug report directly to the Cygwin folks. They are the experts and best suited to handle the problem.
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ Cygwin Home Page http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/bugs.html Cygwin Bug Report Guidelines. This is a good reference for general bug reporting. I did not even think that windows supported file modes. That is a unix filesystem behavior. Most likely cygwin needed to work around not having it.
