I ran into a problem after installing updates. I removed cygwin and
reinstalled and now have a fresh installation of 1.5.11-1 using
setup.exe 2.427.

I tried the following command in bash:

> tidy contrib.html > con.html

Which gave the following error:

479975353 [main] bash 4024 fhandler_base::dup: dup(/home/Matthew
Moss/con.html) failed, handle 2F, Win32 error 87
bash: con.html: Invalid argument

Strangely, any of the following worked fine:

> tidy contrib.html > c.html
> tidy contrib.html > co.html
> tidy contrib.html > cont.html


Only when I redirected to con.html did I get that error.  I get a
similar error simply doing this:

> cat contrib.html > con.html

Which again, strangely, works for other target filenames.
