Thanks for confirming this. It looks like there is a platform issue here.

I also have reports that the same problem exists under Win98 with 1.1.8.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to any Win9x systems so I have not been
able to test this.

I guess what I need to know is whether this can be fixed within cygwin, or
whether I need to implement a specific work-around for cygwin in our code.

Cheers,
