Can you please explain, step-by-step, exactly what you're doing, what
commands you're running, what you're seeing, and how that differs from

For future reference, there's a good guide to providing useful
bug/problem reports at
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html, which is
linked from the Cygwin problem reporting guidance page at
