Hi Eliot. Please update your Cygwin ASAP! It's hardly believeable that the append-mode in `fopen` is broken in a fairly recent Cygwin installation.

```
$ cygcheck -c cygwin
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
cygwin               3.2.0-1        OK
```

```
$ cygcheck -f /usr/include/stdio.h
cygwin-devel-3.2.0-1
```

This works like a charm and as expected:

```
/* File name is hello_world.c */
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	FILE *pFile;
	pFile = fopen("crash.dmp","a+t");
	fprintf(pFile, "%s", "Hello!");
	fclose(pFile);
}
```

PLEASE! Update your Cygwin installation. :-)
