1.1.4: Problem with too many open files.

Hi.

I have a very simple script (attached to this mail) which copies a lot of
files to a "publishing" location.
When the script has copied some files (a quite large number of files really)
cygwin complains about too 
many open files !? This worked fine before when running on a one processor
machine with Windows NT 4.0. 

Now I am running Win2k (service pack 1) on a two processor machine. 

The problem exists both in version 1.1.0 and 1.1.4 of Cygwin.

It shouldn't be difficult to reproduce the problem with other files. Simply
copy a lot of files.
