There have been sporadic reports of line-ending problems with perl-5.6.1
on this list.  I would assume that perl is the culprit, not
cygwin.  Unfortunately, the cygwin-perl maintainer is traveling right now
and is not expected back online until the end of February.  Unless
somebody wants to dig into the perl-5.6.1-1-src.tar.gz source code (that
is, the cygwin perl source bundle) this will just have to wait until Eric
returns.
