This means nothing.  Depending on what mirror you used and a host of other
variables, anything is possible.  That is why we specifically ask for
cygcheck output to be attached here:

WAG: You don't have this change:

2004-01-21  Christopher Faylor  <cgf@redhat.com>

        * fhandler_tty.cc (fhandler_tty::ioctl): Semi-revert 2003-09-26 change
        for TIOCSWINSZ.  It is not an error for ioctl_request_event to be
        missing.

Which was prompted by this, IIRC:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-01/msg00789.html

But, I can not determine if that is in 1.5.7.  Could you try the
latest snapshot?  Thanks.
