If ZoneAlarm affects Cygwin/X, there's a fair chance that there will be a
spate of problem reports coming in when users start upgrading to XP2
(XP-SP2) since it limits both in and outbound connections.  Not sure what
it does about loopback connections or loopback to one's own host IP.  Just
something I could see might be an upcoming set of pseudo-problems -- may
not affect cygwin or cyg/x, but certainly will create some need for users
to re-enable some ports for ssh and such to work.

I know...just stating the obvious for most....

    In the marketplace of "Real goods", capitalism is limited by safety
    regulations, consumer protection laws, and product liability.  In
    the computer industry, what protects consumers (other than vendor
    good will that seems to diminish inversely to their size)?
