possible problem with cp in cygwin B20


Hi!
 
I don't know if this behavior is an NT portation issue, or an issue with the base GNU tools. 
 
If I issue:
 
cp ./test.c .
 
I end up with a 0 length file!
 
I know this may be a silly use of the cp command, but this exact sequence happens because of the rules I have in a Makefile.  Under unix, cp will complain that the files are the same, and not do anything.
