Yes.  The size of the array is not what you think it is.  The reason is
that several commas are missing.  Since I created this array, it's all
my fault :}  I didn't notice this because I'm using the Enterprise
version which have a product value 4, which is pretty safe.

I'm going to fix this in CVS today, but at the same time I'm also going
to look for a solution to differ between Windows 8 and 8.1 (also 2012
vs. 2012R2) in the cygcheck output.  Right now cygcheck just prints
Windows 8.


Thanks for the report,
Corinna
