Using SETUP 2.427 (and re-downloaded it just today to make sure it wasn't

While downloading the Xorg stuff, I get a message box
Microsoft Visual C Runtime: "The application has requested termination in

That's not good... Definitely sounds like a bug.
And that's all for that.
Repeats with perfect consistency, but I'm not sure it's always during
the same file download.
Q: HOW TO DEBUG THIS -- I know Setup is not, itself, a Cygwin app; so I
wouldn't expect gdb to be much help.
gdb works just fine on non-Cygwin apps, as long as you have the debug
symbols in them. Build setup from source, and you should be able to debug
it.
I've put a debug build at:
http://cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/
should that be easier for you.
IIRC, that error message means abort() was called.
Max.
