Normal/expected behavior or should I submit a cygdump?

when I create my password and group files with mkpasswd and mkgroup, they put me in a group "513" -- and call it group 'None'. Yet I am in Users, and Admins -- and have no group none listed in my group list. However, I've just recently noticed that 513 is the end of the well known SID (RID?) bui

Cygwin 1.7/1.5 C99 conformance (GCC, libc)

Greetings, I recently figured that ctrio (from sourceforge.net) fails to link (GCC 3.4.4 here). Reason is that ctrio checks the __STDC_VERSION__ for C99 support, which there is, and assumes that the implementation were a hosted one (as opposed to a freestanding one) and uses powl() withou

Evidence suggests I or someone else ran mkgroup and mkpasswd when I first got this machine. The date on /etc/group is right for that. /etc/passwd has stuff that includes me and other obviously-machine-generated info. Emacs is not bothering its little head about cygwin, though; I'm launching it
