No, I didn't, actually.  I was curious enough to try it after sending
the message and then exasperated to find that this was not a regression
and so really had no bearing on the thread.  I made it clear that
increasing the buffer size was not a fix for everything.  I didn't need
to have it brought to my attention, YA.

It needs more testing from more parties.  It would be nice if someone
like Egor could review the code, too.

Igor has volunteered to produce snapshots.  That would be fine with me.
I hope that he has a site available for downloads.  You can advertise
this in the cygwin mailing list.

My problem with changes this major is that eventually next week, or next
year, Corinna and I will end up supporting it.  I've grown very
reluctant about adding major changes as a result.  If/when this does go
into the DLL I hope I can get your committment that you will be actively
involved in supporting the code for at least a few months after it goes
in.
