[1.7] Editing in /etc

[Chris Sutcliffe]

I've encountered an odd issue where I can't seem to edit anything in
/etc.  I've executed 'mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd' which worked fine.  I
then attempted 'vim /etc/passwd', and vim seems to hang with the file
name in quotes in the bottom left corner.

I can edit '/etc/passwd' using Windows native gVim just fine.

I've attached a dump of 'cygcheck -s' in case it's helpful.

Chris
