I don't necessarily _mind_ using a snapshot, but on this 
particular system stability is quite important.  My concern 
is that the 1.5.18 cygwin package does work, and if other 
programs break as a result of running an unstable snapshot, 
then the problems have simply migrated from one area to another.

Can you say with certainty that this particular problem has 
been fixed in the updated cygwin snapshot?  Have others 
posted issues with cvs-cygwin integration on the 1.5.19 
branch?

Regards,
Nicholas
