Indeed, and I can't reproduce this, neither in Cygwin 1.5.25, nor in
Cygwin 1.7. The only difference between your and my run is that I'm
using the cmd mklink builtin rather than the junction tool, like this:
$ cmd /c mklink /j junctionfile targetfile
Junction created for junctionfile <<===>> targetfile
$ cmd /c mklink /j junctiondir targetdir
Junction created for junctiondir <<===>> targetdir
BLODA?
