Subject: Snapshot and CD compatibility problems

	Ok, so I switched to the 10/25/1999 cygwin dll, to get
	fixes for the unlink and perl problem.  However,
	now it really messes up the file permissions on any
	file I write to (making access return -1 when it checks
	for write access the next time).  Many programs I run kind of hang
	for a while before actually beginning to run.  Also, ls
	reports different values permissions on the snapshot.  For the
	cygwin1.dll from the CD, it reports non-executable files as mode
	644.  With the 10/25/1999 snapshot, it reports 777 on all files.

	Is it just incompatible to use snapshot dll's with the cygwin
	CD binaries?  Also, it doesn't look like the gcc compiler
	that comes with the CD is the same as the one all the web pages
	recommends (2.9 vs 2.95).  Is there a reason why 2.95 wasn't put
	on the CD?  Should I move to that compiler?

	Thanks for any help.

						Steve
