I never said that, and I also don't expect a solution
from the Cygwin team - considering that Cygwin is free,
and that my problem does not seem to affect a lot of users.

I also have to congratulate you to the excellent work
you guys are doing.

However, I have to say this:
There are millions of of 2000 systems out there.
The likelyhood of MS fixing the problem and a major portion
of these systems getting patched is close to zero.

So here is the real-life lesson about MS:
You have a problem with a buggy MS product - you find a workaround.

I tried, but failed. Time to move on.
