The usual reason for this happening on Cygwin is that the files are
being accessed in "text" mode (i.e. subject to conversion between DOS'
CRLF and Unix' LF). The files in the GRASS database directory must be
accessed in "binary" mode. Use the "mount" command or the CYGWIN
environment variable to control this.
