Hint:
Be careful to strictly separate your building environment in two parts,
one with libcygwin.a and the headers from 1.3.22 (for building 1.3.x
compatible applications) and one with libcygwin.a and the headers from
the snapshot (building non-compatible 64 bit applications which only
run under the latest (1.5.0) snapshots so far).
If you only install the DLL and libcygwin.a from the snapshot but don't
replace the header files, too, the resulting applications are very good
candidates for crashing. Applications build with new headers but with
the old libcygwin.a as well. Headers and stub library must match to
work.
