Crash in Cygwin, but the address doesn't help much, unfortunately.

For a reason.  The UUID names are the only officially *unique* interface
names available in Windows.  The ethX names in Cygwin 1.5 were faked,
based on the order in which the interfaces appear in a Windows call.
This order is not guaranteed to stay intact during the uptime of a
machine.  Cygwin also provides an ioctl called SIOCGIFFRNDLYNAM, which
provides the interface name shown in the Windows network adapter
settings window.

T'would be nice.  Please make it short and simple and, if possible, in
plain C.


Thanks,
