Cool.  I guess apache rans fine with b20.

Guesswork isn't really helpful.  Sure there are errors in Cygwin as they
are in apache as in any other big software project.  Coincidentally other
applications might run better since 1.3.10.

You know how that works, don't you?  You'll debug apache.  You'll find a
problem.  You could find a workaround in apache by creating a Cygwin
specific patch which also helps people running older versions of Cygwin. 
And/or you could create a small testcase which demonstrates the problem
in Cygwin so that we have a chance to either fix it or demonstrate that
it's correct behaviour.
