Ah, didn't check the names. :-)

Ok, well please keep us updated; thanks!
(All the same, would you mind passing a copy of that hotfix this way? 
Maybe I'll get lucky...)

Right... I didn't quite understand that either, although it sounds like 
Corinna making a WAG about the pdb program (I'm not reassured by 
"whatever that is" :-)). Possibly MS would be more helpful here. 
Although given how unclear the original suggestion was, it's probably 
correct ;-).

For those fortunate enough to be uneducated (i.e. fortunate enough to 
not have to use MS compilers): A "program database" is a .pdb file 
generated alongside a .exe that contains the debugging information (line 
numbers and such). MS, in their "infinite wisdom" decided there should 
be a completely separate tool to generate the critter, which seems to be 
problematic at best. Of course, these are the same folks that built 
identically-named, completely *separate* compilers for 32-bit and 
64-bit. No nice '-m32'/'-m64' flags here!

So, the problem is that something about the pdb tool breaks when using 
password-less login under ssh (whether or not it's Cygwin ssh).

Anyway, my workaround has just been to not use ssh for now.
