Why have you reached this conclusion?  Have you actually
noticed this behavior?  The changes that I made should not
have eliminated functionality in anything but DLLs and
that is only temporary.

If this is just supposition, then try the cygwin DLL.  There
is no need to speculate about things breaking if you haven't
actually checked the code in question.
