I implemented a solution for this problem which should give sufficent
result to support old applications. I created a new 32 bit developer
snapshot 2013-06-14 on http://cygwin.com/snapshots/, and I uploaded
a new 64 bit test distro Cygwin release 1.7.21-3, both containing
this patch.
Please give it a try.
Thanks,
