Crash of mysql under cygwin with g++ 3.3.1

[Fabrice Marchal]

Hallo Gerrit,

thanks a lot for your help, now I have it working properly, with a 
statically
linked client and I only need to tell users to use the cygwin1.dll.

I only had to do a small work-around because my client keeps telling me 
that it
"cannot connect through /var/mysql/mysql.sock". The workaround is
to use mysql_real_connect with host=127.0.0.1 because if I use
"localhost" it turns to named pipes instead of using TCP. Any idea why it
is that way?

Reagrds,
Fabrice
