Hi Ken,
It turns out that this was a regression in 3.5.3 and was already
reported (in a slightly different form) in
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2024-April/255812.html
and fixed for 3.5.4.
Thanks for the investigations!
Do you have a workaround? In Gnulib we wish to have a way to access this file,
that works on all versions of Cygwin.
3.5.3 is the only version that's bad.
The regression was apparently caused by commit
c1cf14a871528d1adba88a0128813b58d52ba926 on the cygwin-3_5-branch. Therefore
the affected versions are 3.5.2 and 3.5.3.
Just for the record, there never was a release 3.5.2. But that doesn't
matter for your workaround.
I can't think of a workaround
I think I'll just make the boot time function skip that file if it
appears to be a directory.
Sounds good.
Ken
