This would be very nice. The related code is in net.cc, function
`get_9x_ifconf'.

You have the registry in front of you. You have the sources. You can
step through the code with gdb. You should find the problem much easier
than me.

Nope, sorry. If it's glibc code we can't use it. The glibc is under
LGPL which collides with the Cygwin Library License which is GPL plus
an additive (Chris has explained that).
If you take code which is licensed in some BSD style or if you have
written it by yourself everything is fine.
