I do.  And if I had enough gumption to get of my fat arse, read the 
source code, recompile with debugging symbols, and then run the 
debugger, then I'd have a lot more respect for myself.

I have no idea what Ctrl-C handling I'm talking about.  As noted 
previously, I haven't done any research.  When (if) I do, I'll let 
the world know if I find anything useful.

Perhaps I should clarify the intent of my last paragraph.  It was an 
oblique reference to the fact that many problems in the Cygwin 
distribution can solved with self help, and that anyone who just 
bitches and whines deserves less than they get.  Mostly, though, I 
think I wanted to point out that self help is possible.  Right at 
this very moment, I should be trying to work out why the iPlanet App 
Server upgrade causes our application to die.  Support is not forth 
coming, and right now I would be extremely grateful to have the 
source code so I could recompile and run it through a source line 
debugger.  

Perhaps my message was more along the lines of "Cygwin is really 
really really really really really really really great, and...  "

I dunno.  Maybe I really shouldn't be wasting the bandwidth.
