The binmode option of the CYGWIN environment variable only controls pipes and
redirections.  If you reset the CYGWIN variable after you start bash then it
only will change the mode of pipes.  Your opens/fopens will still default to
text mode.

Don't know yet how to workaround this.  I'll try to tinker this weekend.  But
probably will be Monday before I get back to it.  What I'm thinking currently
is trying different options with the ~/.inputrc file.
