Hi,
I'm reacting to this email with a long delay but I just wanted to let you
know that this change saved my life, now I am finally able to debug again
with cygwin (w7 64bits , 32 bits cygwin) because I was blocked by a nasty
"security" dll (part of Arkoon Security). A big thank you...
Additionally I had another problem in gdb which is detecting kernel64.dll
instead of kernel32.dll : am I the only one still using Cygwin 32 on
Windows 64? Does this rings a bell for anyone?
I had to add another (uggly) patch above Tim's work, see below :
