OK.  Unfortunately my installation is totally borked ATM with a 1.5 vs. 1.7
conflict, so I can't even tell you which package versions I have installed
in 1.7.  So that may actually be the problem-- my cygcheck and/or cygwin
versions may be out of date.

So I guess let's put this report on ice for now, until or unless I can
reproduce it in a sane installation.

Thanks,
Andrew.
