My suspicion is that this is due to Cygwin's CRLF<->LF conversion.
Try either:

a) adding "binmode" to the value of the CYGWIN environment, or
b) mounting the "filesystem" (i.e. directory) on which the data
resides in binary mode.

Note: if the problem is due to CRLF<->LF conversion, any maps which
you have generated will already be corrupt, so they would need to be
regenerated.
