Right.  I thought I'd squashed this problem in setup.exe.  Apparently
we need a setup.exe v1.35.  Sorry about that.

Yep.  I thought I'd fixed this too.  It's a problem with parsing the
directory output that setup.exe gets from its mirrors.  If it sees
something like ftp://foo.bar.com/pub/cygwin/latest/.. it sometimes
does the wrong thing.

I'll try to fix this in setup 1.35.
