Max, do you perhaps remember the discussion on cygwin-patches? You were
the only one actually against it (well, besides Gary who was against it
due to misinformation) without having *any* proof that it has disadvantages.
Do you also remember that we asked for a testcase to show the disadvantage
(disfunctionality, bad timing, etc) and nobody showed up since Feb 20,
when I checked this in?

Nonsense. It's a bug in winfile, not in Cygwin. Are you using winfile?
