Re: Problem with -i ignore-file option in version 6.9 ptx in cygwin environment

Not necessarily.

In this particular case, the subject line shows that the port in
question is Cygwin, but this is not a Cygwin-specific issue.  The Windows
line-ending convention is now all over the place.  With file services
like NFS, AFS, and CIFS, it's not uncommon for non-MS systems to have to
process MS text files (and indeed vice versa; many though not all native
MS text tools now cope with Unix-style line endings).  Line-ending bugs
ought not to be rejected out of hand any more.
