We're coming close to a 1.5.18 release.  Please try the latest snapshot
at http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ and help verify that there are no
regresions against 1.5.17.

I'm particularly interested in hearing if the changes made (at users's
requests) to the default mutex handling in pthread.h are working
correctly.  Specifically, does this:

 /* this should be too low to ever be a valid address */

do what was requested?  This simple change required a lot of changes in
the cygwin test suite so I'm not entirely convinced that it was a good
thing yet.
