>I am not sure when this bug might have been introduced. I have an app which deals with multiple socket descriptors for reads and writes. It uses the select() function call from cygwin library. I took the same source code - compiled it with a newer installaion  of Cygwin (1.3.10 based). I see that the select call seems to be getting stuck at points and so the performance of my server has dropped thru the floor.
>I dont have an older installation currently that I can use and I couldnt figure out how to get an older version of your package from the cygwin website. I urgently need to get this resolved. Prefer to have the complete Cygwin package dating close to Dec 2000 (whcih is the last best known version of Cygwin that is known to work fine for me). Can someone point me to the right location from which I can install the same?

It's unlikely that you'll find a year and a half old Cygwin DLL lying around.  
If you do, you're welcome to use it but this list can't respond to questions
or problems with it.  You're better off from a "support" standpoint to try
to determine why the current DLL causes you this problem.  Perhaps an 
strace of your execution will help you see what internal operations are 
involved when things "slow down" for you.
