Subject: False BLODA warning concerning cygusb?

I am seeing the following when invoking a utility which uses libusb to
drive a USB JTAG interface dongle:

  Potential BLODA detected!  Thread function called outside of Cygwin DLL:
    C:\cygwin1.7\bin\cygusb-1.0.dll

I've had CYGWIN=detect_bloda set for some time (months), and the
utility (developed locally) has never triggered this before, so
I think a recent Cygwin update has triggered this. (Note cygusb
has not changed since last year.)

I'll happily submit full cygcheck details if that would prove useful -
the relevant details (AFAICS) are:

  Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3
  PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER = 'x86 Family 15 Model 15 Stepping 0, AuthenticAMD'
