Error with managed mount point.


Hi,

If someone can point me to the proper place, I would
be willing to further analyze this, but this is the issue:

Files/Directories that end in a '.'(dot) are not retaining
the dot.  For example:

I am attempting to untar a tarball that contains this (done on a linux box)
drwxr-xr-x  22 mgpaulus mgpaulus 4096 Apr  7  2001 ./
drwxr-xr-x   5 mgpaulus mgpaulus 4096 Apr  7  2001 ../

When I try to explode the same tarball on a managed mountpoint under cygwin,
I don't get the Netscape_COMM._Corp.
or the Sun_Microsystems_Corp. directories.

I don't know whether the issue is in cygwin1.dll, or in mount, or where I should
start to look for this.
