I have no idea why thats there.
This is a MAJOR problem.  I'm shocked it has been there so long.
I got stuck on this for several hours a week or two ago and gave up.
Its still there now.

One person said they re-installed with text file type default to UNIX/Binary
instead of DOS and it went away.

Is there a Bugzilla for Cygwin/Xorg-XWin?
