I'll investigate; for what it's worth, I'm not even seeing the duplication
in the (no longer available) 5.93-1, although the only thing that changed
between -1 and -2 was recompilation to pick up brand new flags to open
such as O_DIRECT.  Perhaps the ls code uses one of those flags when
available, and the use of that flag is tickling a cygwin bug; I'll have
more details once I finish my analysis.
