This is almost certainly a text/binary mode file read problem.  I have had
simlar problems with other parts of Grass under CYgwin.

To work around this try setting your project up under a directory which is
mounted in binary mode.  Likewise install Grass on a binary mounted
directory.

Use paths like "/cygdrive/e/.....", rather than //e/ when changing
directory, as Cygwin has problems with the double slash prefix.
