Yes, it is 18  :

I subsequently tried installing the inetdtools version from cygwin1.3.1
(1.3.2-11..) onto my 1.3.2 system,  and it doesn't solve the problem,  so I
think it must be a cygwin interactivity problem because but when I install
1.3.1 over it,  it works fine again..  it's very strange,  and the problem
persists on all of the machines that we have updated (6 so far).  Perhaps I
should completely remove cygwin from the system and try a fresh install
(rather than the upgrade)?  Strange
Thanks for your time,
Bruce
