paste for cygwin is broken when using MS style newlines.

Dear GNU-
        I think paste can not handle the MS carridge returns... Take a look
at the last four lines.(I tried the same files on solaris and got the same
problem, but when I tried recreating them using solaris's echo the problems
went away!)

Thanks,
Rob Cooke.
