Perhaps you have hit upon the problem.  I am just downloading and running 
setup-1.7.exe and it definetly has this problem.  I tried to download and 
build it from CVS as you did but I have never done that before and for some 
reason it isn't working.  I'm not even sure if I am downloading code for 
v1.5 or v1.7 but when I follow the instructions under the FAX, it won't 
build.  So when will the latest changes be incorporated in the version 
downloaded in the setup-1.7.exe because it defintely has this problem.  I 
have no doubt about it.  Or, is there somewhere else I can find a pre-built 
version of the latest CVS cygwin1.dll?
