You might want to {re,}read the section in http://cygwin.com/problems.html
which talks about referring to a problem as "the problem".  I'll quote it
here:

	# Do not assume that your problem is so trivial or so "well known" that
	it does not require any details or background from you.  Many (most?)
	people who report problems fall into the trap of assuming that people
	are "clued into" their mental state when, in most cases, this is not
	the case.

	As a rule of thumb, if you find yourself referring to your problem as
	the problem with XYZ rather than a problem with XYZ then your message
	is suspect.  Using the in this context means that you are assuming that
	your problem is well known.  Unless you can point to an email message
	thread or FAQ entry (either of which is a good idea, btw) please do not
	assume that the readers of your message will be familiar with your
	problem.
