Does this have anything to do with it?...

I think this would be the relevant ChangeLog...

| * code-init.el:
| * code-init.el (coding-system-variable-default-value-table):
| * code-init.el (coding-system-variable-default-value):
| Don't use CRLF conversion by default on process output. CMD.EXE and
| friends work both ways but Cygwin programs don't like the CRs.

| * code-process.el:
| * code-process.el (process-coding-system-alist):
| * code-process.el (call-process):
| * code-process.el (call-process-region):
| * code-process.el (start-process):

|
| Improvements to call-process-internal:
|
| -- allows a buffer to be specified for input and stderr output

| -- implement C-g as documented
| -- clean up and comment
|
| call-process-region uses new call-process facilities; no temp file.
|
| remove duplicate funs in process.el.
|
| comment exactly how coding systems work and fix various problems.
|
| open-multicast-group now does similar coding-system frobbing to
| open-network-stream.
|
| * dumped-lisp.el (preloaded-file-list):
| * faces.el (init-global-faces):
| * msw-faces.el (mswindows-init-global-faces): New.
