Dr. Mingw downloaded to U:\Downloads\DrMingW, unpacked, installed with
'drmingw.exe -i' and tested OK using samples/test.exe.

Ran setup.exe again, let it get busy trying to uninstall openssh for awhile,
then hit "Cancel" on the setup.exe dialog box.

setup.exe Application Error message box:

	The instruction at "0x0042fa24" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The
memory could not be "read".
	Click on OK to terminate the program
	Click on CANCEL to debug the program

Clicked on CANCEL, but didn't get a stack dump from Dr. Mingw.

Reran U:\Downloads\DrMingW\samples\test.exe to verify Dr. Mingw still
installed... OK.

Bob
