cygwin cp bug?

I just updated my cygwin to the latest (I was running a version from January before that). There seems to be a problem with "cp -a" and "cp -p" where they no longer preserve
the timestamp on the copied file (this used to work as the man page said).
cp --preserve=timestamps still works.

The /usr/bin/cp I have is dated May 12 and is of size 80896.

Has the functionality of cp changed? Is this a bug? Am I somehow doing something wrong (I'm just running "cp -a" and checking the result with "ls -l" though)?

I'm running Windows 98 if that matters.

Thanks.

Larry
