I finally got around to considering the inclusion the above patch into
my RCS build:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-10/msg00545.html

However, it appears that my build does not trigger the truncation bug
mentioned above.

Furthermore, I just tried Rod Whitby's patch:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-01/msg01038.html

and his build does not trigger the bug either.

Does anyone know whether or not this patch is really needed with the
latest Cygwin?

BTW, see attached for a further reduced version of Rod Whitby's patch
that builds and passes all regression tests under the latest Cygwin.
Note that the Cygwin specific patch is only about 1K in size now.

To be precise, "latest Cygwin" above means a Cygwin DLL built from CVS
by me shortly after the 1.3.3 release with ntsec enabled.
