The information returned by Windows is used unchanged.  There should be
no need for some special handling.

No, no, you got that wrong.  The error message you saw (WFMO, blah) is
actually indicating a bug in Cygwin.  You should get something like
"file not found" or so, but certainly not this WFMO message you saw,
which is only meaningful to Cygwin developers.
