That's why I culled down my large application to a small Python  
script which exhibited the bug and which I submitted to the list,  
along with my cygcheck -srv and the error messages that Python gave me.

??? A minimal C test case for a python bug... I'm confused.


I will submit my tbp (in a different form) to the official python  
release for inclusion in their self-tests, and hopefully that'll  
prevent _this_ bug from showing up further, whether on Cygwin or some  
other platform...
