Or, more officially: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-10/threads.html#00439

So, a problem reported in mid-October is "plaguing" Samba users?  The OP
mentioned running 1.5.25 and didn't seem to understand that there was a
newer version available.  But, point taken.  I generated a snapshot
after Corinna checked in her multiple-cygwin-allowed change.  Any other
fixes will be available there too, of course.

Quoting from the never-read-except-for-the-cygcheck-part of
http://cygwin.com/problems.html

  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.
