Thank you to everyone for your help with my question. I hope the responses may also have been of some use to others besides me. I will download the new dll from http://www.cygwin.com/snapshots/ and see if it fixes my problems. Actually I upgraded from a 1.1.x version of Cygwin which is why I asked about the mounts. I guess that was not really relevant. I will try the settings for text mode that were suggested also. I think I had almost those same settings though and I was getting textmode when I specified absolute paths like /tmp/foo.txt but binmode for the same file if I called it foo.txt while in the /tmp/ directory. Apart from that I have not had any really serious issues (that I know of!) in upgrading, so I am very impressed with the stability of the package. Thanks again
