Btw, one of the changes that I made to cygwin in the 7/17 snapshot was
to detect when a "system call" like open(), stat(), chmod(), etc.  is
passed an invalid pointer and set the EFAULT errno rather than SEGVing
within cygwin itself.

I noticed that that seemed to make XFree work better but that is a sign
that some functions are being passed bogus stuff.  In particular, I
noticed this with chown().
