In short, things aren't as bad as we thought they are, and we can

Thanks for the heads-up. We have also circulated some changes on theEmacs side, to help Emacs work better with the Cygwin port of glibc,which also has problems in this area. These Emacs changes are not yetinstalled and are not currently planned for the next Emacs release, butare likely to go in after that. When it's convenient I would like totest these Emacs changes with the glibc malloc changes that you'reenvisioning, and iron out any glitches that come up.
