Re: missing exported function from cygwin1.dll

["H Q" <thermalhorizon at hotmail dot com>]

Thanks, I've attached the text output of cygcheck, with the hostname 
asterisked for privacy.
Regarding the functions stated as "missing" in the error message:

For vim, the file needed was _getreent (decoration retained)
For tcsh, the file was _fstat64                      "

I'm also concerned about other programs that may not find what is needed in 
installed DLL's despite a consistent download and install for the DLL's and 
calling programs via setup.exe.  In the case above, both vim and tcsh were 
the most up-to-date on the cygwin.com site.  Hopefully this can be resolved 
without doing a rebuild of cygwin modules.


Thanks
