Weird. Messed up tty settings perhaps. How and where are you running that shell? What's the output of 'stty -a'? Also, cygcheck output as requested at http://cygwin.com/problems.html might be helpful. > 2) In the opposite to V1.5.25 "ls -alh /cygdrive/c/users/" shows the Vista > Junction points like linux soft links.

Sure you're actually running the same 'attrib' in both environments?
