What do you mean by "older Cygwin's"?
I downloaded Beta 20.1 and installed it.

Do you mean that the problem has already been fixed in the snapshots?
Has anyone actually tested (test'd) the snapshots
to determine whether this behavior still persists or not?

Should I download the latest snapshot
and use it to compile my application programs?
Or should I wait until the next release
before upgrading my compiler?

Does anyone know whether the DJGPP compiler
has been fixed and tested yet?

Thanks in advance, E. Robert Tisdale <edwin AT netwood DOT net>
