mkfifo: cannot set permissions of 'x.fifo': Not a directory

[Martin Wege]

Hello,

We get a weird mkfifo failure in Cygwin on NTFS:

/usr/bin/mkfifo -m 600 x.fifo
mkfifo: cannot set permissions of 'x.fifo': Not a directory

Is there a known workaround? So far named fifos cannot be created somehow.

Thanks,
Martin
