Thank you!

N.B.  I think that those names appeared in Emacs string APIs.  Emacs
strings are not NUL-terminated, so most likely the tail wasn't part of
the actual file name.  It's pretty amazing that even the parentheses
don't mess things up!

Vin, let us know if you have further problems after upgrading to the
next Cygwin.
