That would be nice, given that you have easy access to the problematic
environment.  I found another problem when accessing the DFS shares from
Windows 7 which seems to affect not only Cygwin but also Windows
Explorer.  While it's not a Cygwin problem per se, an unwelcome side
effect in Cygwin is a crash due to an overwritten stack.  I'll look into
avoiding the crash at least.
