It is not about that we would not like to test such kind of workarounds
it is more the fact they
are out of our control (you know huge company's and internal politic
restrictions are limiting us very
much in implementing such a fix. We don't like it either, but that is
the way it is unfortunately)
Even if this would help, it doesn't explain, why on the same system,
without any other change than
switching the cygwin versions, it works with the old one and doesn't
work with the current one
It is worse trying to tell somebody to change his code due to the fact
that a new version of cygwin should
be used in the future.
The SFX file is called withing cygwin bash by a another (out of our
control) programm
that we can not change ourself.
And as the only different on the system is, one time using the old one,
and the other time the new one,
it would be hard to explain to someone to change his code due to that.
