Please try the latest snapshot - cygwin1-20040214.dll . You can down
load it from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ .

I tested it with Emacs for some hours now and it seems OK (I had 1
crash but I don't think its related). I'm trying to build Emacs from
CVS with it now (which crashed constantly with 1.5.7 and all snapshots
up to 20040206). I'll report the results here when it'll finish.

Ehud.
