When copying an EXE file there is no problem when the target does not exist
but it fails for me when the target is present leaving a directory in place
of the desired file.
Below is the sequence of commands to reproduce this.
Administrator@home-iii ~
$ mkdir exetest
Administrator@home-iii ~
$ cd exetest
Administrator@home-iii ~/exetest
$ cp /bin/ls.exe fred.exe
Administrator@home-iii ~/exetest
$ ls -l
total 48
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 71680 Jul 10 19:31 fred.exe
Administrator@home-iii ~/exetest
$ cp /bin/ls.exe fred.exe
cp: writing `fred.exe': Invalid request code
Administrator@home-iii ~/exetest
$ ls -l
total 0
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 Administ None 0 Jul 10 19:31 fred.exe
