Corinna has been responsible for the last few cygwin 1.5.2x releases and
she has a different way of generating a release than mine.  It's
possible that the .dbg file isn't working right or created correctly.

I'm generating a snapshot now.  If you try that and it doesn't work I
can look into fixing it.  I can't fix the 1.5.24 dbg problem, however,
and Corinna isn't available to look into it right now.  So, if the
snapshot works for you, you might want to just stick with that.  It's
closer to mainline CVS anyway.
