I just posted Test 07 to the xwinclip development page:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/xwinclip/

You can install the Test 07 package via setup.exe by selecting the
'release' package (and be sure to check the 'Bin' box):
XFree86-xwinclip-4.2.0-07

xwinclip binary and source code releases are available via the
sources.redhat.com ftp mirror network
(http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html) in the
pub/cygwin/xfree/devel/xwinclip/ directory.  You may wish to note the
desired filename in the links below, then download from your
closest mirror (http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html).

xwinclip binary, direct link:

Changes:

1) wndproc.c - Pass NULL to PeekMessage instead of the hwnd for our
messaging window, since this was causing some vital messages to be
filtered out.  (Benjamin Riefenstahl)

2) xwinclip.c - Use setjmp and longjmp to gracefully catch IO Errors
and restart the process from the entry point.  This should allow
xwinclip to continue running when the X Server resets.  (Chris Twiner)


Enjoy,

Harold
