Here's an executive summary: it's a mystery. It just started
working.
In slightly more detail, rsync from another site did replace the
TeXmacs package.
But re-running setup still failed on TeXmacs. Our local mirror is
shared via Samba (v 2.2something). Some hours later, with no extra

Is there a scriptable way (on the Unix host, or under a working Cygwin
install), for us to detect a faulty mirror? The mirrors seem to cause
problems very regularly. This is about the 3rd one we've tried.

Just to make it clear,
I'm currently using cygwin 1.5.10 and I'm having a problem trying to
run a .bat file in
a directory with spaces. Here's an example of what I'm doing.
1) mkdir C:\Space Dir
2) Create a file called test.bat in C:\Space Dir
3) Just add a single line with "echo %1" in test.bat
4) Start cygwin

Greetings,
This problem appears to have surfaced in a previous thread on this list (see

resolution was offered then.
The problem arises with bash but not with sh on our cygwin installation:

I installed xemacs 21.4.15 yesterday (on cygwin 1.5.10-3) using the cygwin
netinstaller and still see the same problem (including weird truncation
characters, instead of the usual arrows i saw in previous versions, and
failure to redisplay properly).
