Corinna managed to narrow down the problem with 16-bit programs so there
will be a fix in the next snapshot (and eventually in 1.5.18) but
without specific information about failing 32-bit programs there will be
no fix forthcoming for that problem.  Since all of cygwin consists of
32-bit programs, this problem cannot be too prevalent.

Please try the 2005-Jun-18 snapshot when it eventually shows up at
<http://cygwin.com/snapshots/>.

In case it isn't obvious, this is a Windows 98/Me bug, not a Cygwin bug.
That hardly matters, since we still have to deal with it, but I thought
I should mention this fact in the interests of full disclosure.
