Sounds like there was more to this thread but I can't find it.
Anyway, I'm not sure where you got the idea that no one will be
fixing any issue in this regard.  Certainly if no one is going 
to fix the issue, no one is going to make a temporary fix. ;-)
Perhaps others aren't seeing the problem you're seeing.  Did 
the email thread of this issue contain any information about 
the details of the problem you saw?  Is this something that you're
willing to spend some time tracking down?  Sorry if I'm rehashing
things.  Perhaps a pointer to the start of this thread is all that's
needed.

The following does not appear to be correct.  I use Win98
and it has occurred since 1.13.6 when I am doing a normal
install into d:\tools\cygwin13 (a FAT32 file system).

It appears that no one is willing to actually
solve this problem.
Can we do a temporary fix by including a test for some
environment variable or something so that the error
gets suppressed?
