Path problems with trailing dot

- Subject: Path problems with trailing dot
Today I noticed with streamripper that Cygwin appears to have a problem
with trailing dots in paths:
> mkdir test. ; echo > test./test2
bash: test./test2: No such file or directory
The trailing dot disappears and cannot be used in paths. This seems to
be a DOS legacy of either NTFS or Windows.
Is there anything in the queue to fix this?
Regards,
Stefan Schuerger
