Iâve had some problems, and it looks like it boils down to handling .
(dot) characters. I created a little script to create some files with
dots in various places. This script works fine in my $HOME directory
(C:\cygwin\home\SEAYD). The name is wrong when the last character of the
filename is a dot and subdir is on a network share (H: in this case).
The rest of the file operations seem to work because when I cat them,
you can see the file name inside the body (yes, I left of the \n).
Please *attach* (*not append*) the cygcheck output as requested by:

We also need to know the server type (Windows, Linux, netapp, etc),
service type (SAMBA, NFS), and file system type (NTFS, FAT, something
else) of the shared directory.
