[issue5157] os.stat('foo') succeds if 'foo.exe' exists on cygwin

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

Why do you think this is a bug in Python? It sounds like a bug in Cygwin
to me?

Python delegates to the C library as-is, with not attempt to
second-guessing the C library. So if the C library says "file" exists,
then this is also what Python must tell you.

Closing as third-party bug.
