As I mentioned before, it's better to verify that the current snapshot does
address the problem you're seeing locally. Otherwise, if you're seeing a
variant or something different than the rest, your problem won't be known
until after 1.5.8 is released. See <http://cygwin.com/snapshots/> for the
latest snapshots you can download and try.
