Buzz off, troll.  He said he checked for documentation, I assume he
checked the archives.  As it turns out, it is being caused by an
undocumented and undiscussed issue with cygdaemon.  Your response would be
warranted if this was brought up in the past, but since it hasn't, so your
response is not.  Not everyone is a master of C or C++, and the mailing
list rules do not require you to be one.  As previously mentioned, they do
require you to do some background research, which he did.  Please use some
judgement before you try to judge other's actions next time.

Just FYI, of course...
Nicholas
