actually, i have the directory mounted in binmode and i still get this
behaviour. here is the mount table for my system:

$ mount
C:\Cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\Cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\Cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (textmode,noumount)

running the following script:
f = File.open("test.txt", "w"); f.puts("line1\nline2\nline3"); f.close

....results in a file with LF only line-endings ir run in '/', but
CR+LF line-endings if run in /cygdrive/c

am i doing this wrong?
