read_symlink error

I know there are NOT a lot of Windows users out there using symlinks, but I'm
a cygwin user and I'm getting these errors from OpenSCAD whenever I've
navigated to a path with a symlink in it:

Critical Error - OpenSCAD

A critical error was caught. The application may have become unstable:
boost::filesystem::read_symlink: The request is not supported:
"C:/cygwin\home\user\src\scad"

I'm actually a couple directories down from this, but the "scad" directory
is a symlink, created with "mklink" in an admin CMD window:

cd c:\cygwin\home\user\src
mklink /d scad c:\cygwin\local\repositories\openscad

Anybody getting this error or am I just way too out there? :)
