Although, the following patch:

    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2002-q4/msg00103.html

fixes the problem for newly built DLLs, it does not (and cannot) correct
old (i.e., previously built) DLLs.

What is the best way to solve this issue?  Should dll_list::detach() be
changed to call IsBadReadPtr() to prevent stackdumps?

Thanks,
Jason
