Bug in cygwin's mkdir

[Chris Mumford]

I came across what I believe is an interesting bug. 

Let's say I have a file in a directory named "foo.exe". If I run "mkdir
foo" then it succeeds. If I then run "mkdir -p foo" then it fails. If I
remove foo.exe then "mkdir -p foo" succeeds.

The error message contains says "foo exists but is not a directory".
