Thanks for the report.  Unfortunately, directory names ending in .exe
are rarely tested, because they tend to interfere with .exe magic.  I'll
add this to my list of things that I will look into for the next
coreutils packaging, but no promises on a time frame.  In the meantime,
you are better off not naming your directories with a .exe extension in
the first place.
