Have we to assume that Win9X will not be any longer supported?.
It would be  a pity, there are a lot of old machines around that can have a
new life with cygwin. It is terrible to stop at version 1.5.5-1 because new
software is not compatible with it because of the fnctl64 problem.

I can try, using gdb, to determine where exactly  the problem happens, but
I don't have enough knowledge of cygwin1.dll nor of Win95 programming
in order to solve the problem. Maybe with some help I can contribute in
solving it.

I hope that something can be done.
