Now that you mention it, I also ran a rebaseall because of Perl modules 
right before the cygheap problem happened.  In fact, I think that was 
the first time I rebased using cygwin-1.5.11; maybe that's what needs to 
be investigated.

Well, right now gpg, XWin, XWin_GL all aren't working, along with my 
self-compiled snownews, plus any program that I've compiled since the 
problem first happened.

Again, the common factor seems to be rebasing with cygwin-1.5.11.  Could 
someone *please* investigate (before my cygwin becomes completely 
unusable!).

BTW, Gerrit, I was working on getting together a bunch of Gnome prereqs 
for ITP at the time, but I can't do anything now until this is fixed. :-(
