Sorry.  I must have missed the part where you mentioned that you'd downloaded
1.5.15, tried it, found that the problem was still there despite having been
fixed in a snapshot, and provided cygcheck output along the guidelines at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html .

I guess both Corinna and I missed the fact that you'd already downloaded
the latest version since we both assumed you were waiting for someone to
answer your question before downloading.  I wonder how we got that
impression?
