What version of coreutils are you using? Attach the output of `cygcheck
-svr' as described in cygwin.com/problems.html, then consider upgrading.

I am attaching cygcheck in case you can find something obvious.
However,I am reluctant to upgrade because the use of large static
fortran arrays with cygwin/g77 seems to be a fragile issue and my
current installation is now working (but only with -mno-cygwin).

On further reflection, this is not a problem I can safely ignore, since
I use cygwin scripts for my backup routines. I tried rebooting and
chkdsk to no avail, then tried to reproduce the problem, and found that
I can reproduce it with the following script. (Which in fact I used
before, but forgot about.) It is a newly written script, thus a likely
suspect for the newly encountered problem.
Sorry about appending cygcheck.out as well as attaching it. Must have
hit a wrong button.
