I've deprecated dirent's d_ino field in the latest snapshot. I've taken this step because in the majority of cases this field was different from the inode field returned by stat() and this presents problems for programs which correctly think that they should be the same.
This field will continue to be filled out (in)correctly for older programs but the field has now been renamed to __deprecated_d_ino so it will not be detectable by configure. The __deprecated_d_ino field is now zero in any applications built with the snapshot or newer versions of libcygwin.a. What this means is that, with luck, packages like bash and find which try to use this field in some meaningful way will switch to using the reliable st_ino field instead.
