Making translation string not works in Windows XP?

Making translation string not works in Windows XP?

Script is called with such parameters:

<target name="py" depends="make-translate-dir">

<exec executable="${python}" dir="src" failonerror="false" >

<arg value="${django-admin}"/>
<arg value="makemessages"/>
<arg value="-e"/>
<arg value="py"/>
<arg value="-l"/>
<arg value="${language}"/>
<arg value="--settings=settings"/>
<arg value="-v"/>
<arg value="${verbose-level}"/>
<arg value="--pythonpath=."/>

</exec>

</target>

Result is (only on Widnows XP/Cygwin - same works on Windows 7/Cygwin):

[exec] CommandError: errors happened while running msgmerge

Reason of this bug it the some lines in *.pot file is destroyed by incorrect overwrites I think since I see characters displacement.

Can you:

• Reduce this to the actual commandline used to invoke makemessages?
• Provide: one .py containing the translatable literals you are trying to extract plus one resulting .po file. If reduced to a minimal test case much better.
• if possible the broken .pot file you get
• Test this with django 1.6 if at all possible for you
• Tell us if you are using native Win32 gettext utils or ones using the cygwin runtime?

Reopen the ticket with that information.

Thanks
