This started out as a VIM problem and now narrowed down to a simple file system problem

>cat  foo
AAAAAAAA
>cat bar
BBBB
>cp bar foo
>cat foo
BBBB
AAA
>

foo - file contains "AAAAAAAA\n"
bar - file contains "BBBB\n"

I can duplicate the same problem in VIM but cannot duplicate using notepad

So is this a problem with the cygwin file system or Vista?   Didn't have this problem before SP1 RC

Seems to be a file system I/O problem where buffers are written out without truncation.
I was going to uninstall SP1 RC but now waiting for official SP1 first.

Cygwin DLL 1.5.25  SP 1 v.668
