Subject: Cygwin 1.5.11-1 breaks the Hans Boehm-gc (garbage collector)

Hi,

It appears that Cygwin 1.5.11-1 break the Hans Boehm-gc (garbage collector), v6.2 and v6.3.  http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/

The gctest test application of the the boehm-gc runs correctly (it shows a passed result) compiled with gcc 3.3.1, 3.3.1, and 3.4.1
under Cygwin 1.5.10-3.  But the gctest application does not run correctly compiled with any of those gcc versions under the current Cygwin, Cygwin 1.5.11-1.

I searched the mailing list archive, but I did not find any mention of this problem.  But another cygwin user that I know has found the same problem.  Is there a known fix for this issue?

Thanks,
Peter
