These also don't work (see below).
This doesn't look like a "mount" problem? The cygwin FAQ states about mount:
"The '-b' option to mount mounts the mountpoint in binary mode where text and
binary files are treated equivalently. This should only be necessary for badly
ported Unix programs where binary flags are missing from open calls."
... and your code does open the files in binary mode, so shouldn't it work
regardless of mount?
It even seems to fail when I do mount a directory in binary mode...
If nobody has a solution, I guess I'll try debugging it when I get time.
