I can reproduce the problem on my (Cygwin) system. The bug occurs in
Emacs 23.2 as well as a build from the current emacs-23 branch. But the
bug is gone in a build from the trunk. I wonder if the patch in
bug#6715 is what fixed it. At a glance, I don't see anything else
Cygwin-specific that might be relevant. When I get a chance, I'll see
if back-porting that patch to emacs-23 fixes the problem.
