Yes.

Definitely weird - didn't even get to the point of letting me type the "r"; gdb crashes
out immediately.
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>gdb XWin.exe
29 [main] ? 1840 init_cheap: Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win3
2 error 487
c:\cygwin\bin\gdb.exe (1840): *** AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x616A0000, Re

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>bash
bash-2.05b$ gdb XWin.exe

So that's something, anyway - neither XWin or gdb run under my system in the post
1.5.7-1
snapshots.
As a data point to try and claim that I am not a total moron, this does WFM on another
machine running XP Home (20040218 snapshot + XWin.exe).
