Looks like your unzip program has been configured to replace unix line
endings LF "\n" in text files with DOS line endings CRLF "\r\n".
Cygwin tools are essentially unix tools and some of them do not like
CRs.

For example, in WinZip you should uncheck Options -> Configuration ->
Miscellaneous -> TAR file smart CR/LF conversion.
