RE: wmaker signal 11

I can report that if you install Cygwin and choose DOS files instead of UNIX
files as a setup option, wmaker crashes on startup as a matter of course.

'course I don't really know WHY that is, but I did observe the fact.

we are not dependent upon binary mounts.  Any objections?
