The only Windows platform available to me is Wine. And I have
no Cygwin on Wine experience at this stage because this fork bug shut

the fixed version of setup.exe?
Are there daily snapshot builds of the CVS version I could access?
Never mind. I have now found the snapshots page, and the latest one
contains
013-06-18 Christopher Faylor <me.cygwin2...@cgf.cx>
* dcrt0.cc (child_info_fork::alloc_stack): Don't subtract 4096 from
stack pointer since getstack() already does that.
Could someone confirm that is the fork fix of interest here?
I am somewhat confused by the remark
at http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.snapshots
that "You cannot use Cygwin Setup to install a snapshot."
So what exactly is installed by a snapshot? Is it just the core part
of Cygwin? Is there enough included in cygwin-inst-YYYYMMDD.tar.bz2
so I can run setup.exe from the installed version of that tarball to
download and install or update additional Cygwin components that I
might need?
