I appreciate the fact that you are trying snapshots but you really
should check that you are actually running the *latest* snapshot.
I also very much appreciate the fact that you're providing patches but,
for the patches to be useful, it's usually safer to generate them
against cvs. If you're rebuilding cygwin, you'll see fixes much more
quickly if you update from cvs.
Anyway, in this case, the problem was discovered and fixed on
2002-06-10.
