Days old:

$ uname -srvmo
CYGWIN_NT-10.0 3.0.0(0.336/5/3) 2019-02-16 13:21 x86_64 Cygwin

worked fine with no problems under 2.11.2-1 days before with the same OS:

$ cmd /c ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.292]

[OT: as someone who made money from necessary, auditable, trackable, repeatable
Y2K fixes to systems, other stupid, short sighted, amnesiac orgs still omitting
the century from years makes me spitting mad, hoping they crash and burn
pathetically and soon, as they deserve!]
