Also, if checking your file/directory permissions does
not solve your problem, then please consider the
bug-reporting guidelines for Cygwin -
As requested at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html:
o Please describe how to reproduce the problem,
including a test case, if possible.
o Please include at least the version number of the
Cygwin release you are using along with the
operating system name and its version number,
for example, "cygwin v1.3.13 under NT 4.0".
o Most of the information about your Cygwin environment
is listed by running 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.txt'.
Please include cygcheck.txt *AS AN ATTACHMENT* to your
report. It is important that you include it as an
attachment so that searches of the mailing-list archives
give fewer false matches.
