Cygwin pipe problem with XP SP2 and unison (and other native windows programs)

[Karl M]

Hi All...

My problem is that now the older cygwin1.dll, that still worked with windows 
native unison (and other windows native programs) on XP SP2 is neither 
usable or available through setup.

There were some comments about reverting a patch to the pipe handling code 
until the problem was solved. Bob Byrnes had some posts when he was looking 
into it...but I have not seen anything since October 6.

What is the status of this problem?

What is my best alternative for working around the problem?

Thanks,

...Karl
