cygwin has an octal dump utility(od iirc) , first few lines of output would at
least
let you know if that is the problem. Offhand I don't know who would assume
you have text but again you'd have to think a wrong content type somewhere.
ByteArray of course is supposed to be just that, no text assumption but
if someone manipulates those there could be sign issues, all kinds of things
could happen. I just made a funny post on cygwin-talk list about
that bit being used for parity only LOL.
