Well that's easy to fix. I was the one in Cygnus who made
the DOS-text-is-default decision as I was one of the few
people there working on CygWin32 who'd done a lot of Windows
programming :-).

You just need to add a call to setmode() to set the stream
to binary. You can do this globally as well (although I'd
have to look it up as it's a while since I worked on CygWin32).
