Right, I also recently found a native windows cvs, and it does _not_
have the 'descriptor is a file' problem. So I used it to update my
source tree, rebuilt cygwin, and . . . it still _does_ have the
problem.
But I now can debug again, since I have a with-symbols up-to-date
cygwin1.dll -- will be happy to try anything Corinna or anyone else
can suggest to try to track this down.
