Broken file move / renaming for Windows Portable Executable files in Cywin 1.7.1-1 on Server 2008.


Hello,
It seems that the 'mv' command is appending a ".exe" extension to any
file it thinks is a PE when the file is moved.

For example if I have a file 'a' which happens to be a PE in the
current directory:

bash-3.2$ ls
a
bash-3.2$ mv a a.foo
bash-3.2$ ls
a.foo.exe

Is there any way to workaround or patch to fix this behavior? This
seems to affect any attempt at renaming files (not just mv).

This machine is a 64 bit Server 2008 machine.

bash-3.2$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.0-WOW64 MYHOSTNAME 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-07 11:48 i686 Cygwin

Best,
Sindhudweep Sarkar
