  That was completely stupid and pointless.  You spammed the list with 500k of
duplicate rubbish just because you wanted to change the names?   That's really
SOOOOooo worth it for everyone else.  NOT!  FCOL, why didn't you just send a
short email listing the new names?

  It's a known bug in cygwin's gcc-3.4.4-1, and there's going to be a new
release any day now which will fix it.  Keep an eye out for the announcement
post.

    cheers,
