According to Mark J. Reed on 5/26/2008 7:17 AM:
| Yeah, we get it, it's a known bug, if you upgrade to 1.7, things
| break.  That doesn't answer the question.  Was the release of 1.7 an
| intentional release of an unfortunately broken release, or the
| accidental promotion of still-in-development code?

The accidental promotion of still-in-development code.

If you WANT to use it prior to its formal release, then read the
cygwin-apps mailing list, download setup-2.exe (rather than setup.exe),
and it should work decently enough.  Of my two machines, I'm intentionally
running 1.7.0 on one of them, to help root out the issues so that it can
be prepared for final release hopefully sometime this year.
