Hi folks,


I uploaded a new Cygwin test release 2.11.2-0.2

I'm planning for a release pretty soon since this release fixes
two really bad bugs.

Please test!!!

=======================================================================

---------

- Return ESPIPE rather than EINVAL from lseek on a fifo.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-10/msg00019.html

- Fix a memory corruption when using pipes or FIFOs
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2018-q4/msg00000.html

  accept(2), or accept4(2) fail.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-10/msg00229.html

- Fix socket(2) and socketpair(2) calls mishandling SOCK_NONBLOCK and
  SOCK_CLOEXEC flags.
