Dear Cygwin Team,

can you please update these packages:

mingw64-x86_64-gtksourceview3.0
mingw64-i686-gtksourceview3.0

The available version 3.24.6 has a severe bug: when a thread ends global 
objects of gtksourceview are deleted which later leads to crashes when 
the corresponding memory is reallocated, since the objects are still 
used by other threads.

This is fixed since a while, definitely in 3.24.11.

AFAIK the cygwin (not mingw) packages don't have this issue, but for 
consistency they should also be updated.

Thanks & best regards,

Michael
