I tried this with CYGWIN32=tty and with CYGWIN32=ntea but I can't
duplicate it.  Is this under Windows NT?  Is it on a FAT partion
or an NTFS partition (not that it should really matter).

Could you do this:

attrib bbb
set strace=1,strace.out
cat bbb

and send me the output?

As you probably noticed I rewrote path_conv (for the twentieth time)
and modified symlink_check_one to detect extensions.  I undoubtedly
broke something in the process.
