Known problem. Cygwin takes a shortcut and treats name/.. as though it were a single ., which unfortunately is counter to posix when name was a symlink. The problem is that patching cygwin is likely to slow down the common case, so the cygwin developers have chosen speed over correctness for the moment on this issue. -- Eric Blake -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
