true. didn't thought of that. very strange.

I'll step that in the debugger.
If so, we'd have a choice of whether to rely on junctions or on Cygwin's own emulation of symlinks. I'd be inclined to think the former is a better idea, if only because it'd give you some chance of migrating a data

Cygwin can do symlinks for directories via the magic .lnk file.
But Cygwin can also do junctions via hardlinks in ln.exe.
I thought link() calls the junction code.
I'll investigate why the libc link() failed, and if ln.exe does some sifferent magic, similar to pgsymlink.
