Hi,
I haven't replied because I don't know much about Emacs coding systems,
but it's been a while since you made this report. Have you found a
workaround, have things started working with a newer Emacs CVS, or are
you still stuck? I don't have a Cygwin setup here but I can make one if
no one else can help debug this.
Thanks
Ted
