Sorry but I disagree on both counts. 1) I don't want to release cygwin with a known regression and 2) I don't want to apply a patch that I don't entirely agree with in the hopes that someone will "do it the right way" at some nebulous point in the future. I could possibly be convinced about 1 but I'm rather adamant about 2.
