I've applied a potential fix to Cygwin.  Could you (and others using
a 64 bit Windows) please test the latest Cygwin snapshot 2005-Aug-14
from http://www.cygwin.com/snapshots/

Report back if it solves the problem or if not, please provide a
simple, reproducible situation which allows us further testing.


Thanks,
Corinna
