Thanks!  That's exactly what happens on Cygwin as well.

I'm about to check in code to newlib which allows to choose between
Solaris/POSIX semantics to BSD/Linux semantics(*) at build time.  Since
Linux is our role model, we're going to switch to BSD/Linux semantics
for the next Cygwin release as well.


Thanks,
Corinna

(*) More precise: BSD/Glibc semantics.
