Has the fix made it into the release version?  I am
still getting the attribute change:

ndeeds@hal9000 ~
$ echo "hello world" > temp

ndeeds@hal9000 ~
$ attrib temp
A          C:\cygwin\home\ndeeds\temp

ndeeds@hal9000 ~
$ sed -i s/hello/hell/ temp

ndeeds@hal9000 ~
$ attrib temp
A  SH      C:\cygwin\home\ndeeds\temp

ndeeds@hal9000 ~
$ sed --version
GNU sed version 4.0.9
