"con" is a reserved word on Windows.  Cygwin 1.5.10 erroneously let you
produce a filename named "con" but 1.5.11 no longer allows this.

This error message should not occur and that should be fixed but fixing
things to provide a more unix-like error message is, unfortunately, not
going to solve your problem.

Sorry.
