Please don't do that.  We have a mailing list for this purpose; redirecting.

Thanks. :-)

Actually, I noticed it recently when testing an attempted x86_64 build 
of gimp (and then seeing it on x86 as well).  I was able to rule out my 
gimp patchset, as it occurs both with and without it, but otherwise, 
despite several attempts, I have been unable to pinpoint the cause.

The problem with narrowing this down is that so much has changed since 
cygwin-1.7.10 that simply reverting cygwin1.dll while leaving everything 
else where it is may not work.  That being said, if you have the time to 
debug this, I would be grateful.
