Possible setup-x86_64 2.908 bugs?

[Jim Garrison]

I got the "newer version" prompt just now when running setup and
downloaded 2.908 (I was on 2.905).

Now I'm seeing really flaky behavior in 2.908

* Empty Pending list when packages are available

   1 Click through all the initial dialogs to the package selection
     window (confirm there are packages to update)

   2 Click the Back button

   3 Click the Next button

   At this point the package selection window is empty for me. You can
   restore the list by changingthe Keep/Best/Sync option from Best to
   Sync and then back to Best.

* "This version of setup is *older* than the one you used last time"

   Does not happen the first time the new setup is launched, but then
   occurs intermittently thereafter.  I saw that message on two
   occasions, and the second time setup-x86_64.exe crashed a few
   seconds later. No message, the window just closed after I dismissed
   the message popup.

   Note: When I downloaded the new setup-x86_64.exe I overwrote the
   old one, so there's no chance (barring an OS caching bug) I was
   running 2.905 at that point.

Since I don't think it will help debug a setup problem I'm not
attaching cygcheck.out, but can make it available if needed.
