Cygwin 1.7.0-46. I try to use alternatives, but every time I do it does nothing
except to exit with status 127.
So I started to file a bug report, and ran cygcheck -svr. To my surprise,
cygcheck also exits part of the way through with status 127. It does give some
output first-- attached here.

Actually it seems to be just 'cls -l' that causes the fault.
I just reported this upstream, but now I've also just tried it on my Debian
box and I can't reproduce it there. So it seems like maybe a Cygwin bug.
I'll try to track it down further.

It's not, and it should be. I've tried to build it from the BIND source on at
least one occasion. The build succeeded, but host and dig both hung in an
unpleasant way that required me to kill their parent shel

Actually, with a little setup in your .screenrc, that's not true. I have mine
set up to always show the list of tabs on the bottom line, with the current tab
highlighted. You have t

No, the package is not dead. Cygwin has the latest release, version 4.0.3, and
I'm not aware of any current problem reports on it.

I've recompiled screen for Cygwin 1.7. It runs fine until I do the following:
* Open a cmd console and run c:\cygwin-1.7\bin\bash.exe --login .
* Start a new screen session (screen).
* Detach the screen session (C-a d).
* Exit bash.
* Try to start bash again.
Then I get:
3 [main] bash 212
I'm running Cygwin 1.7.0-29. cygcheck gives no useful output at all:
$ cygcheck -srv

Yep, I did. Standard for screen in a DOS console, so I forgot to mention it.
