Isn't it about time that there was an unpdated MS Windows binary release for SN? The release 5.0 binary is full of bugs and I am personally still using version 4.5.2 as a result. Best Regards Dave Banham
Having just run across a similar problem, what we found was that the install of Cygwin needs to have the default text file type set as 'DOS'. If you left it set to 'UNIX', the grep utility works incorrectly when interpreting eol characters in DOS.

Bruce, Wu,
Many Cygwin users are going to be unwilling to use "DOS-mode" mounts (I
know I am).
Perhaps these grep options would help (from the output of "grep --help"):
-U, --binary do not strip CR characters at EOL (MSDOS)
-u, --unix-byte-offsets report offsets as if CRs were not there (MSDOS)

As far as we can tell, using "dos mode" instead of "unix mode" only affects
the Cygwin as to (respectively) translate CF/LF into LF when accessed by the
Cygwin utilities--or not. That is, dos mode makes the cygwin implied file
system mounts "textmode" instead of "binarymode".
Doing this should not threaten one's purity, wholesomeness or faith. But it
does allow source navigator's "configure" to detect the presence of MSVC++,
various header files, library functions, etc.
Theoretically, one could set default options for grep, flex, etc. to
accomplish the same thing, but this is significantly harder than just
setting the filesystem to textmode. Why *wouldn't* you want to do that?

Wally,
I think you've got it backward. A Unix-mode mount (a.k.a. "binmode") causes
the Cygwin "kernel" (cygwin1.dll) _not_ to alter file contents during I/O
operations, so when a Cygwin program writes a single newline to a file,
that's what goes into the file. With a text-mode mount, the Cygwin
emulation layer must perform the translation. Naturally, the reverse occurs
during reading.
I don't want to impose that translation because of the performance penalty
of applying a ubiquitous (and non-in-place) transformation on all text I/O
that happens within Cygwin, which is where I do all my Windows-based
programming.
It seems to me that the onus of providing a compatible version of any given
piece of software should be on the author or porter, not the user.
