Problem with Text mounts after updating using setup.exe

After upgrading cygwin some of my textmode mount files started to have
additional 0x0d characters.
 
Example of problem.
 
With a file test.txt
 
$ od -t x1 test.txt
0000000 61 0d 0a 62 0d 0a 63 0d 0a
0000011
 
with dos style newlines.
 
$ grep a test.txt > test2.txt
 
If i invoke grep on this file, i get the problem that it duplicates the
0x0d 
 
$ od -t x1 test2.txt
0000000 61 0d 0d 0a
0000004
 
I started getting this problem after running setup.exe this week.
 
The version of cygwin before the upgrade was atleast a year old.
 
What should i do ?
Do i need to provide additional information ?
 
I wouldn't expect an additional 0x0d even if the mount was in binmode.
