[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: binutils-20050610-1

2005-07-09 Thread cgf
I've made a new version of binutils available for installation.

This version of binutils contains a fix which should stop the ld
--auto-image-base option from locating dlls into the address space of
the cygwin dll.

For a brief description of this package, and a listing of the files it
contains, see http://cygwin.com/packages/binutils .  The project web
page has more details: http://sourceware.org/binutils/ .

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

That is not a crash.

This is the return of "INVALID_OBJECT" if an invalid pointer is passed
to a thread routine.

You obviously have customized rxvt.  I don't see why MinTTY would be any
different.

And, if you are not going to be updating rxvt it doesn't really matter what
happens with the distribution since you wouldn't see it anyway.
