Do you have CYGWIN variable set to contain binmode? - in one method your 
doing input using pipes without file reference and in the other (i think ;P) 
you are referencing a file (effectively at least).  Without a file reference 
- cygwin doesnt know binmode or textmode (i think) - so what it does depends 
on the CYGWIN variable (and whatever the default is) ...

did i say "i think" enough times :)
