Is there a plan to fix cygwin's emacs, so that it can deal with these paths? Alternatively has someone writ

I'm trying to make sure our perl program works with text mounts. In the course of the testing, one weird problem cropped up: binmode seems to have no effect on STDOUT when redirecting to a file on a text mount. The following consistently reproduces the problem for me: $ mount -m | grep text moun
