Sure.  Two questions though.

First, any pointers on where or how to start?  I just thought you might
have some specific questions that would lead us to the problem more quickly.

Second, I wan't to make sure this isn't a false alarm as I am fairly new
to building Cygwin.  My sources are current as of this morning.  Is this
test proceedure valid?

I simply made a build dir.  Configured as "../cygwin/configure
--prefix=/home/ford/cygtest".  Ran "make; make check".

How does the test framework handle cygwin1.dll conficts, if it does?  ie.
Do I need to stop all Cygwin processes before running make check?  Do I
need to install the new Cygwin before running make check?  The FAQ appears
to say no here.

Last, how do you developers manage test running Cygwin versions and
reverting.  Obvioulsy, for things like the new 64 bit support, just
swapping cygwin1.dll is not sufficient.

Thanks.
