Can't copy from Windows shares with latest Cygwin update

I just updated my machine to Cygwin 1.5.19-4.  Now I find that 
I cannot copy files from a Windows share directory any longer.  
The error message is as follows:

cp //sparky/bracken/myfile.txt .

cp: skipping file `//sparky/bracken/myfile.txt', as it was 
replaced while being copied

Needless to say, the file exists and was not being edited or 
accessed in any way when it was being copied, and I have read 
permissions on it.  I can copy it using a (blecch) Windows 
command shell.

Is there a fix?  Thanks!
