I'm old enough to have become very tired of messages from ill-informed
(i.e., people who haven't followed the entire thread) lecturing
messages.

Yes.
Here is what is happening:
People reported a problem with cygwin that I cannot duplicate.
People have donated money towards getting me a system. I am going to
purchase a system with this money.
I asked if anyone had put together a system for $400 since, at that
point this was all I had available, implying that this has to be a
system which demonstrated the problem.
In asking for a system whose price was $400, I was not asking for a $603
system. I wasn't looking to bring someone up to speed on previous
discussions. I wasn't asking for help debugging the problem. I wasn't
asking for musings that the problem was due to cygwin's release policy.
I wasn't looking for advice on how to reorganize my home setup to avoid
purchasing a new system. I wasn't looking for a new version of the
script which shows the problem.
Anyone is welcome to send this kind of thing to the mailing list. I
just have no interest in responding to it. That's what I meant by "Bye,
bye."
At this point, the only thing I require from the cygwin community is
$$$ donated towards the purchase of a new system. I'm now very close to
having enough money to buy a system based on one of the previously
mentioned configurations.
When I finally get a system and can duplicate the problem, I hope that I
will be able to fix it. At that point, I'll be asking for people to test
the fix. We are not there yet.
