This means nothing. Depending on what mirror you used and a host of other

WAG: You don't have this change:
2004-01-21 Christopher Faylor <cgf@redhat.com>
* fhandler_tty.cc (fhandler_tty::ioctl): Semi-revert 2003-09-26 change
for TIOCSWINSZ. It is not an error for ioctl_request_event to be
missing.
Which was prompted by this, IIRC:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-01/msg00789.html
But, I can not determine if that is in 1.5.7. Could you try the
latest snapshot? Thanks.
