No.  I didn't see it in 1.7.9, but do see it in the referenced
snapshot.

No, I meant that the machine on which I've never seen the failure,
even with the same 1/23 snapshot, had the packages on it upgraded once
a month (roughly).  I didn't remove everything and reinstall once a
month, for example.

On the machine that I have seen the errors, I removed everything,
because I was in a weird state with my msysgit testing, so I thought
it best to start from scratch.  I removed msysgit and gnuwin32, as
well.

If you can think of some other tests I could perform, I'd be happy to
do it.  The machine with the failures is not a critical development
machine, so it's pretty open to what I can do.
