Symlinks don't work in python???

I just upgraded to cygwin 1.5.14 from 1.5.12, and python
(version 2.4 in both cases) stopped being able to import
thru symlinks.
Test case: in a directory containing a symlink to foo.py,
python
import foo
complains "no module named foo.py"; if I copy the file to .,
it imports fine. Both worked in previous releases of cygwin.
Similarly, putting symlinks in site-packages no longer works.
Has some change to cygwin's handling of symlinks (since 1.5.12)
caused this problem?
Thanks for any light shed...
