You are replying to a thread with the subject "1.3.20". It makes no
sense for you to be using 1.3.19 sources to track down your problem.
Doesn't it make sense that there is a possibility that whatever problem
you're experiencing might already be solved in CVS?
If you did debug your problem and managed to come up with a patch, then,
again, it *makes no sense* for you to provide a patch against older
sources. There is, once again, a likelihood that your patch wouldn't
apply against the newer sources.

That's because the version tags are for my benefit. They are not intended
for checking out a cygwin release. As Max has pointed out, to do that, I'd
have to tag large parts of the sourceware repository.
