Alas, it just got worse for us on Windows NT 4.0.  The 20001012,
20001013 and 20001014 snapshots all die horrible deaths with multiple
"handle_exceptions" errors when we drop them into place on top of
Cygwin 1.1.4 and try to run builds of our product, which use a GNU
autoconf configure script and GNU make.

I suspect that the fact that we run our builds on multiprocessor
machines has a lot to do with this.

What can we do to help get this problem debugged and fixed?

Thanks,

  Jonathan Kamens
