this is just plain 0.23?

Has anyone successfully used 0.23a-1?  I just updated my Cygwin
installation this morning and I see the pkg-config version I got is
this new 0.23a-1.  I have the PKG_CONFIG_PATH set and echo shows it

$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:/c/cygwin/lib/pkgconfig

When I try to do a simple test, pkg-config segfaults

$ pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0
   16255 [main] pkg-config 4324 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Error while dumping s
tate (probably corrupted stack)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I went to another computer where I also have Cygwin setup.  I tried the same
test and got an error saying that atk wasn't found in the pkg-config path.
I realized I didn't install atk on that machine so I installed it.  I tried
the test again and now this one segfaults on $ pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0
just like the first one.  Any suggestions?
