cygwin.dll

<insert "I am an idiot" disclaimers here>

Upon installing and attempting to execute a .exe put together by the =
GNUWin32 stuff, I continually receive "STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION" from =
cygwin.dll in the bygwin except handler.

So I chalked it up to a crappy .exe, but I thought the GNUWin32 concept =
was interesting - having toyed with C++ and such briefly in the past.  =
As such, I downloaded and installed all the stuff I could gt ahold of.

After reading the installation notes, and carefully doing everything =
described - I ventured into some source, determined to make my own =
executable, one that worked.

The shell seems to work fine, with all functions available (even created =
and properly mounted /tmp!).

Problem is, when i invoke a ./configure command, the config fails in the =
same manner as above (when attempting to call awk.exe).  Another oddity =
is when I attempt to use make.exe, the same failure occurs in the cygwin =
except handler.

Since this is occuring in 3 (probably more) independant circumstances, I =
am guessing that it is a problem with my install, or the version i have =
of cygwin.dll (the original b18 version).

All this is occuring on a stand-alone Win95 machine with no other known =
problems.  Any tips, suggestions, or comments are welcome.

Keep up the good work
