1.5.21-1: CIFS symlinks on network share break Cygwin

[Champ Mendis]

Hi,
I compiled & executed the EXE file compiled in new version of Cygwin in 
XP-Media Centre in the XP SP2 Cygwin.
I wonder why this does not run in the new PC with XP Media Centre edition.
I have attached the Cygcheck output file with this.
Many thanks & regards,
Champ
