This is good to hear, particularly given I was unable to reproduce that

I was previously managing to reproduce this, but since updating to
Corinna's latest OpenSSL builds, I've not had any issues.  Is it
possibly an out-of-date library hanging around in memory?  Have you
tried restarting all your Cygwin processes and/or rebooting your system?
I'm surprised Corinna's changes would fix it for me but not for you.
