Greetings folks.
I have been fed-up with the default GUI shell on Cygwin, being used to the
great Terminal that comes with Mac OS X. Some googling around uncovered
that I should try "rxvt". My experience with rxvt is pretty good, after
reading online some basic configuration tips. But unfortu

Greetings,
I recently had to report my first bug to Cygwin, and I would like to
suggest you change to use bugzilla for bug reporting.
Here was my experience for bug reporting.

Hi,
I'm trying to use WinPcap 4.1.1 in a program that links with cygwin1.dll
1.7.1-1. The program I have built runs successfully on Vista and Windows 7,
but fails with a SIGSEGV seemingly before it calls WinMainCRTStartup on
Windows XP SP3.
The stack trace from insight is:

Hi,

The man page for ld, as for the other binutils, is quite generic, and lists
