I've tested http://sources.redhat.com/ml/newlib/2004/txt00003.txt on
Cygwin, and it works. So, most probably, Cygwin uses the "fixed" newlib.


However, since my example code
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-12/msg00305.html) still fails, something
is still wrong. Is it possible the the "fix" above actually caused this
problem?
