If we could say that Cygwin is bug-compatible with Linux, I think that would
be saying allot (in a good way).  Of course, if there's a way to fix those 
bugs in Cygwin, I think that's a laudable goal too.  I encourage anyone who
is interested to investigate and fix this and any other bug they find.  Let
it not be said that Cygwin is complacent with bugs!;-)
