Ugh, top-posting...   Reformatted.

Right.  I missed the "." in the original message.  The change that
prompted this behavior seems to be
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2005-q3/msg00224.html>.  I'm assuming the
motivation for this patch was to duplicate Linux's behavior (which doesn't
allow trailing "." in a path passed to mkdir).

There must be some Cygwin-specific code in cvs that adds that trailing
dot.  I'll take a look at the cvs sources later.
