Well, I take that back...someone pointed me to
http://www.gigascale.org/softdevel/faq/23.html, which contains
instructions for reinstalling CygWin with text mode set to DOS, which
actually fixes the problem (the remount procedure didn't work, as is
warned in the article). All I did was run the setup utility, selected
DOS text mode, and selected the base/cygwin and devel/cvs packages for
reinstallation...works like a charm now. The contents of this article
might be good fodder for the FAQs. Cheers!
I'd suggest this is the wrong direction to head in this case for at
least a few of reasons:
1. This hasn't really risen to the level of a FAQ.
2. The problem is ill-defined at least and isn't shared by the vast
majority.
3. It's not at all clear that the problem isn't fixable if it were
better understood.
Perhaps someone seeing this problem could spend a little more time with
it and see if a solution can be found that makes any documentation of
it unnecessary. That would be a real big help.
