Thanks Dave. I wasn't ignoring you. I was just waiting until I had some solid information to reply. I really do appreciate the help and suggestions. I'm not completely sure this is the issue yet, but I believe it is. I was able to reproduce the problem without involving Cygwin at all. An xcopy from a Samba mounted drive on the Solaris box to the local disk in a cmd shell also triggered the problem (although it was a much slower copy with all those network file open/close operations required). Even though this is now off-topic, I'll follow up just to close the thread for the archives when I verify that one of those registry settings actually fixes it.
