Johnny,

FYI, strcspn() is used within the code for Cygwin itself (properly), so it
can hardly be faulty in such a broad way.  You will have to provide more
of the code that exhibits the problem, the exact compilation flags you
used, and, perhaps, the data that resulted in this behavior (a complete
*simple* testcase with instructions on how to reproduce this would be
perfect).  Once people can reproduce your problem, they can start figuring
out why it happens.  It would also help if you mentioned which versions of
Cygwin and gcc you are using (the output of "cygcheck -svr" *attached*, as
per <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, will contain this information).
