I'm on the Cygwin list in digest mode,  so my apologies if this note isn't 
threaded properly in the archives.

The "we" refers to the developers in the SIMPL project 
(http://www.icanprogram.com/simpl).

I just had one of the developers download the latest Cygwin and retry the test 
code from last April.  See archives under

Fifo's still have the same problems as far as we can tell.  

However,  I think the latest public release is 1.7.9-1.   How do we get 
1.7.10?   

Thanks.
