Nope. I just tried it out myself, and it seems to work fine. (No segfault
anyway)
Send the output of cygcheck -srv to the list (as an attachment).
Specifically, note that the 20021107-1 release of binutils is buggy.

ATTN: Cygwin patch maintainer!
The patch source tarball (patch-2.5-3-src.tar.bz2) has a .bz2 extension but
is a *gzip* file!

(And there is no CYGWIN-PATCHES or other recognized packaging scheme - but
given that patch hasn't been updated in ages, thats not too surprizing.)

Max.
