RE: cat broken

[John Wiersba <John.Wiersba@medstat.com>]

Actually, I tried a sample of the snapshots I found on
ftp://go.cygnus.com/pub/sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/snapshots/ from the
following list of dates:
0523 0524 0526 0528 0529 0530 0531 0601 0602 0603 0604 0605 0607 0608 0610
0612 0614 0615

I assumed that if it failed at the endpoints and also in the middle that it
failed everywhere.  After reading your email, I thought maybe I'd go out and
try every one.  It appears that the snapshot on 5/28 does *not* have the
fhandler_base::fork_fixup bug.  Thanks for spurring me on!
Hopefully, 5/28 doesn't have any other new major bugs, either.
