Fair enough.
This is probably a FAQ. Are the cygwin1.dll snapshots generated
with debug symbols such that I'll get more information in my Dr Watson
reports? If not, do I need to build my own with VC++ 6.0 such that I
can pull up the debugger when (if) I get the access violations?
Thanks for the information. Troy

Snapshots are not generally considered stable. They are works in progress.
If submissions build, a new snapshot is created. If not, there's no
snapshot. Whether they "work" or not is determined by those that run them.
If you intend to try/use a snapshot, you should:
1. Backup any previous DLL/environment you have that you may want to fall
back to.
2. Be willing to try a few to see if they help solve your problems
without
creating others.
3. Report the results of (2).
4. Preferably be willing to help debug issues you find.
