Hi,
cygpath.exe built from CVS works great.
Thanks for the very fast reply and solution!
Matthias

Thanks for the report. I have checked in a patch to current CVS.
There's no workaround except not using the -l option or to use a cygpath
build from current CVS.

Hi,
after updating from cygwin 1.5.19-4 to 1.5.21-1 cygpath seems to show a bug
when called with the --long-name (or -l) option:
Assuming that the filename "12345678901234567890" does NOT exist in the
current dir, cygpath shows the following output:
$ cygpath -m -l 12345678901234567890
123456789012#
$ cygpath -w -l 12345678901234567890
123456789012xx 7890
^^
not printable characters
$ cygpath -w 12345678901234567890
12345678901234567890
$ cygpath -u 12345678901234567890
12345678901234567890
$ touch 12345678901234567890
$ cygpath -w -l 12345678901234567890
12345678901234567890
$ rm 12345678901234567890
$ cygpath -w -l 12345678901234567890
123456789012xx 7890
^^
not printable characters
i.e., as long as the file name does not exist and exceeds a certain length,
it gets scrambled with the -l option.
Without the -l option, in posix format, or if the file exists, the output is
fine.
Can you confirm this bug? Is there a workaround?
Matthias.
