It crashed the setup program, which seemed to indicate it was installing
strangely named files. It also corrupted the cygwin package directory.
I could not run the setup program again even using a different mirror
until I cleaned out the file /etc/setup/vim.lst.gz. Your evidence seems
to indicate that it is simple corruption rather than tampering. I am
pleased to see that.
