Sorry, but I cannot reproduce the above problem with the latest
snapshot:

    $ uname -a
    CYGWIN_NT-5.1 gelpdevjt022 1.5.15s(0.126/4/2) 20050408 16:35:04 ...

    $ python -V
    Python 2.4

    $ ls -l
    total 0
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 jtishler Domain U       11 Apr 11 10:14 foo.py -> /tmp/foo.py

    $ python -c 'import foo'
    $
