Diff-ing cygcheck outputs between 1.1.4 and 1.1.5-3, I determined exactly what is the root cause. I had my TMP variable set as follows: export TMP=$SYSTEMDRIVE\\tmp just in case some Windows programs were using this variable. In 1.1.4, the TMP (and TEMP) environment variable was automagically converted into a POSIX style path, while in 1.1.5-3 it remained unchanged. Hence, I was bitten by the unmounted drives defaulting to text mode feature.
