There is nothing wrong here. You installed cygwin with text mode
mounts:
C:\cygwin / system textmode
C:\cygwin/bin /usr/bin system textmode
C:\cygwin/lib /usr/lib system textmode
. /cygdrive system textmode,cygdrive
This means that when a cygwin program reads a file with CRLF endings it
is translated to LF line endings that all unix tools expect. You want
binary mounts if this is not what you desire. See the FAQ for more
info...
