cp (coreutils) 5.2.1 Corrupts Binary File

Hi,

We found that cp corrupts binary files which is quite embarrassing...

peugeot[/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32]> cp notepad.exe notepad_copy.exe
peugeot[/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32]> diff notepad.exe notepad_copy.exe
Files notepad.exe and notepad_copy.exe differ

Please find attached the output of cygcheck -s -v -r .

Is anyone had this issue? Is there any workaround?

Regards,

Vincent
