Here's the problem:
When I do a `cd bar2' and do an `ls -l ../', here's what I get:
Known problem. Cygwin takes a shortcut and treats name/.. as
though it were a single ., which unfortunately is counter to posix
when name was a symlink. The problem is that patching cygwin
is likely to slow down the common case, so the cygwin developers
have chosen speed over correctness for the moment on this issue.
And I can't remember if this came up in that original thread but I see
the same behavior as described by the OP on Linux (FC4).
