Subject: setup.exe local install with 2.218.2.4 fails, 2.78.2.15 works

With the current setup.exe 2.218.2.4 I successfully downloaded to my
local directory all Cygwin packages from ftp.nas.nasa.gov.  However when
installing from my local download directory, this version of setup.exe
"caused a stack fault in module MSVCRT.dll at 0177:78010618".  I was
unable to correct this after rebooting, uninstalling previous (older)
setup.exe installed Cygwin, rebooting, installing current MS library
update, rebooting etc.  I was installing  into "c:\cygwin", with options
"all users", and "unix file format".  The stack fault happened at the
actual install section of setup, but nothing was installed, and the
stack fault took about 5 minutes to occur, after setup had been running
at 100% cpu.

However when I switched to setup.exe version 2.78.2.15, it successfully
installed the same packages downloaded today by 2.218.2.4.  So the
problem appears to be in setup.exe 2.218.2.4, rather than the downloaded
packages or my system.

I'm running: Win98SE, all current MS patches/updates, IE6, etc, AMD
K6-2+

I'm willing to provide any other information to the developers if it
would help.
