I *did* read the entire thread before I sent my mail. I see one person  
reporting success, but I have twice as many reporting failure. I'm  
wondering if the bug in question didn't get completely fixed.

Well, the first link on that page is to the Cygwin FAQ which tells me  
that what I'm looking for doesn't exist. Ignoring that and reading  
problems.html I'm still at a loss as to how to get the exact cygwin  
version number.

Before I sent my first mail I tried to parse the output from cygcheck  
but it's pretty overwhelming. I also ran 'uname -srv' didn't contain  
anything that looked like a relevant version number. I also scanned  
Cygwin-dev to see approximately what version number was current. I  
would have been happy to follow a more efficient (and informative) path.

bye
Philip
