I told Chuck in private email that I was *just* able to duplicate his
make problem exactly once. This happened, of course, just as I had
uploaded 1.3.3 to sources.redhat.com.
The program segv'ed while building the winsup directory. Since cygwin
was stripped, I couldn't easily see where it had died.
I haven't been able to get it to fail ever since.
So, I think I'm going to release it as is. If there is a bug, it
seems to be extremely sporadic.
I will wait to see if Chuck can duplicate any problems first, though.
