While it has introduced a new IO bug that is failing a
handful of threads tests, it also appears to have
fixed a different bug where some of the trigonomic
functions would blow up under JIT.

My gut feeling was always that's a Cygwin bug. Anyway I'd just mail
error reports to the Cygwin team.

Can you provide a summary line (or two) for PLATFORMS which Cygwin is
doing what.

Thanks.

I know you only asked for 1 or two lines but I wanted
to give some context as I think it is important:

The following applies to cygwin-1.5.11-1 running on
Win2K/XP

B8 flags:
CGOTO: Y
JIT: Y
EXEC: N
Threads: Y*
Signals: Y**
Compiles: Y
Tests: Y***
Date: 20041006

* You need to enable the threading tests by adding
cygwin to t/pmc/threads.t though a handful of tests
will fail due to an outstanding IO issue likely caused
by Cygwin

** You need to enable the signal tests by adding
cygwin to t/pmc/signals.t

*** The only failing tests are if you enable the
threading tests as annotated above

I used to have Win ME to test but no longer so I don't
know what 9x/ME would turn up

If you update cygwin1.dll from
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ all tests pass
