Gosh, how many ways to fail does transactional NTFS know?

So you're getting a transaction error which isn't covered by the Cygwin
DLL yet.  The error is STATUS_TRANSACTIONMANAGER_NOT_ONLINE.  Whatever
this means.  How on earth can the TxF manager be "not online"?!?
Unfortunately there's only very sparse information about this status
code available.

Before I make any changes to Cygwin, I'll try to get some info from
the Microsoft side of things...


Stay tuned,
Corinna
