Subject:	cygwin1.dll startup and GDB

All,
	Yeahhhh, The snapshots worked when I compiled under egcs1.1.2!!

Now I was able to examine more closely why I can't use gdb with the
snapshots after March 30th. (Or at least the snapshots which ran :)) I
feel kind of stupid because I was debugging with the downloaded binaries
for the dll and completely forget that the debugging information was
stripped!!  Hence, the wierd 'stack errors' I reported earlier. 

Here is what I see...
	
	1) Any program compiled normally will run fine from bash.  I created a
Hello.exe program.
        2) When you try to use gdb and run the program, a SIGSEGV during
the dll startup.
           Lines marked with ==>* are the ones of interest.

Fortunately, this time I was able to see exactly where the problem
was.   This is in shared.cc in the 
open_shared function.  This was a new function added March 31 according
to the ChangeLog.

This is easily recreated on my system.... If more info is needed, please
let me know.
