I've been meaning to ask this for a while - what exactly is a WAG? :-)

OK. This shouldn't stop a release though I assume, only a build from
CVS.

Yes, I'm seeing errors with this on my updated Cygwin very early in the

Unfortunately though, I don't know the answer either, but I guess the
change was in Cygwin as I didn't see it before you asked me to upgrade.
