The crash is an "illegal instruction" dump, which of course doesn't make a lot

Hi,
I have cygwin utilities installed on an upgraded/enhanced Win-XP box.
There are several reasons (too much to go into here), that I need to maintain
this new box, but run it with the original Win-XP/SP3 O/S.
It would be nice if I could access some of the Cygwin utilities that I do not
have.
