Aha! Found it - I had renamed an old setup.ini with this timestamp
to setup.ini.sav (in the local directory). I don't think setup.exe
should be taking any notice of a file with this name though!
After a little experimentation, it appears that it doesn't

level of the local directory with the format of a setup.ini

On the two mirrors which I could find which have the new 1.5.5-1,
there seems to be a problem with the MD5 checksum in the setup.ini file.
Running bzcat on the downloaded cygwin-1.5.5-1.tar.bz2 shows no problem,

If your suspicion is correct, then simply moving "state = 1" to before
the call of dlopen should do the trick, i.e.:

For a start, read the documentation and FAQ, and if that doesn't help
give us more information. Did you do a full cygwin install? Is it all
up to date? What com

I occasionally see the following heap allocation problem. This typically
happens when a
bash window has been left idle at its prompt for several hours (eg overnight),
and occurs
on the first command causing an executable to be run. It is independent of the
command

It's rather a long time since I tried building my own cygwin from CVS. With
the new release out, I thought I'd give it a try, as I imagine HEAD is very
