just joining after being hit by an obviously known issue:
Running tar (in my case to extract openssl-0.9.8r.tar.gz) results in symbolic links being randomly substituted by zero length mode 0 files as described in http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2011-04/msg00299.html.
For me this happens on both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
The interesting (new?) tidbit:
In sheer desparation I downgraded from cygwin1.dll/1.7.9.1 to cygwin1.ddl/1.7.8.1 via setup.exe and the issue seems to be gone.
As this is the only change I made: Is it possible that the problem is not an issue with tar (as discussed on the mailing list) but in fact a regression in cygwin1.dll?
I never saw this happen. Therefore, somebody actually seeing this problem has to debug it. The least I need is an strace.
