Yup.  I just checked in a fix for this.  Hopefully it will show up in
tonight's snapshot, assuming I didn't get it in too late.

I appreciate your debugging of the problem, though.  I couldn't
duplicate this on my Windows 95 system, so, using the addresses that you
supplied in your last email, I had to do a comparison of the assembly
language output from the snapshot versus a version of the DLL with
debugging symbols.  Then, I found that I could easily duplicate the
problem on my NT system...

I should have just waited a little bit and your analysis would have
made everything clear.

If you have access to CVS you can check out my changes and build
a new version of cygwin.  It should work better.

Thanks,
cgf
