Subject:	20011101 snapshot broken

Greetings,

Kris Huber has also reported this problem in the main list.

On Win98, with the 20011101 snapshot, 'ssh' dumps core with the
following stackdump:

  $ cat SSH.EXE.stackdump
  Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=6102F1A0

        0 [main] ssh 188389 handle_exceptions: Error while dumping state (probably corrupted stack)

Then trying ssh-agent gives me:

  $ eval `ssh-agent`
        0 [main] ssh-agent 2068825 fhandler_base::fork_fixup: %a - Win32 error 6, handle secret_event<0x1>

(The "%a" was really some 8-bit garbage characters that I can't paste faithfully.)

Along with a popup:

  "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."
  
  "If the problem persists, contact the program vendor."
  
  SSH-AGENT caused an invalid page fault in
  module CYGWIN1.DLL at 015f:61055607.

Reverting to 20011031 makes everything work again.

Hope this helps.  I can provide an strace upon request, but I doubt I
can build a debugging version of the DLL this week.

Regards,
David
