pinfo-0.6.9-1 -- Size and Crash

["Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID) [E]" <BBuchbinder at niaid dot nih dot gov>]

(1) Size

The size issue is a FYI, specifically, a report of the following type:
"I think that this is strange, but what do I know?  I'm just passing it
on in case it is important.  Please feel free to ignore me."

After the recent update of pinfo, I noticed that the pinfo package had
gotten a lot larger and that this seemed to be because the executable
was a lot larger than previously.

(2) Crash

This is more serious.  However, since I cannot imagine pinfo could be
crashing without others having already reported it, I expect that it is
a problem with my installation and I'd appreciate hints (or, better yet,
explicit instructions) as to how I might trouble-shoot it.

cygcheck.out is attached.

I have uninstalled, redownloaded, reinstalled, and rebooted.

Symptoms:

  /c> pinfo gawk
