Chris + Greg,

Check your e-mail, I just e-mailed both you and greg an xfs.exe with
debugging symbols.  As for what version I'm running, it is the vanilla
version that comes via setup.exe, a.k.a XFree86-4.2.0 on Cygwin
1.3.13-cygdaemon(special development branch).  Also, you might want to
check your /var/log/fs-errors, incase xfs output anything interesting
there.

Cheers,
Nicholas
