Sounds like there was more to this thread but I can't find it. Anyway, I'm not sure where you got the idea that no one will be fixing any issue in this regard. Certainly if no one is going to fix the issue, no one is going to make a temporary fix. ;-) Perhaps others aren't seeing the problem you're seeing. Did the email thread of this issue contain any information about the details of the problem you saw? Is this something that you're willing to spend some time tracking down? Sorry if I'm rehashing things. Perhaps a pointer to the start of this thread is all that's needed.

I use Win98 and it has occurred since 1.13.6 when I am doing a normal install into d:\tools\cygwin13 (a FAT32 file system). It appears that no one is willing to actually solve this problem. Can we do a temporary fix by including a test for some environment variable or something so that the error gets suppressed? > The function works on non-NTFS filesystems.
