Not to add to your troubles, but I am also seeing some Win95 specific
problems, but with
serial communications. On Win95, B20.1, serial communications using GDB
to connect to HW on COM1 seems to drop characters every now and then. It
appears to be timing related. I will try to provide more information
after I try it with "strace" on.

Just thought I would note the problem in case someone else has seen
this. The same code works great on WinNT. BTW, thanks to all who've
gotten me this far. Cygwin is really great.
