Moving to cygwin-apps, as this is likely to get technical.

Do you mean packagemeta::ScanDownloadedFiles() calling
packageversion::scan(), which calls check_for_cached()? Then yes, this
isn't properly wrapped in a try/catch. I'd like to verify that this is
the culprit (when someone sends me the corrupt tarball), but I think I see
a proper fix for this. Will submit a patch shortly.
