http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#WADR , this was in my _very_first_email_
   "9. I have tried making a dummy program that's just a wrapper for the failing
   code and passing in all the same data as the failing case. And it
   works. That really confuses me."

I do have a binary --an only slightly modified gcc 3.4.6 cross-compiler--
that always fails. And there is a simple testcase that fails with that
binary. But I doubt that really does anybody any good.

For now, my team will continue our prototyping on Win7 + Cygwin 1.5.
We'll re-evaluate when cygwin 1.7 seems a bit more mature (less frequent
updates with fixes to less severe-sounding problems). I know this isn't
a particularly recommended configuration, but it seems to be working.
