Earlier this week, I re-installed Cygwin from scratch. The current version
of the X server is 4.3.0-60.

I have noticed an oddity in the behaviour of the cp command. It gives
an incorrect error message when I try to copy an .exe file but refer to it
without the .exe suffix:

This produces the incorrect message:
cp: calc and /usr/local/bin/calc.new are the same file.

Apologies if this has been reported before, but there seems to be a basic
