(I can't recall seeing any recent reports about > this.) I think this bug should be closed. Support for mixing a native w32 Emacs with Cygwin external programs is limited where character encoding is involved because of the limitations of the APIs we use in Emacs to invoke external programs, and because native w32 bui8lds of external programs in most cases support only a single system codepage. So people who want to be able to invoke Cygwin programs from Emacs and play by Cygwin LANG and locale rules (which emulate quite well the Posix environment) should use a Cygwin build of Emacs.
