According to Corinna Vinschen on 12/12/2008 7:58 AM:
I don't think it's the right way to special case this for Cygwin in
kpathsea.  This isn't exactly a Cygwin issue.  The right thing to do
would be to change the test in a generic fashion from

if (st_nlink > 2)

to

if (st_nlink != 2)

More generally, it is possible to optimize to spot the number of subdirectories when st_nlink >= 2. The point is that the optimization is invalid if st_nlink < 2, on any file system (not just cygwin).

Thanks. I've sent a revised patch to the texlive developers (http://tug.org/pipermail/tlbuild/2008q4/000460.html). Cygwin's tetex maintainer might need to apply a similar patch.
