I do not understand this. I thought that when a cygwin application opens
a file in text mode, there are two options:

1. The file is "mounted as having CR/LF endings":
   This results in Cygwin handling CR/LF as line endings

2. The file is "mounted as having LF endings":
   This results in Cygwin effectively handling LF line endings.

(Yes, I know my words are sloppy, but I think you get the idea what I
mean).

If this is true: What is the difference of the new behaviour now?

Regards,
Spiro.
