You're right, it should be used in conjunction with
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC74>.

Only if the change affected just the DLL.

[Yadin Y. Goldschmidt]

This faq is not clear enough and should be updated. It does not give the
location of the snapshots: http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
which can also be accessed from the cygwin main page, see on the very left
the item Snapshots and click on it. Then you have to
download the file cygwin1-xxxxxxxx.dll.bz2 and install it by bunzip2 first
and then
changing its name to cygwin1.dll and replacing the old cygwin1.dll, this is
usually enough in
spite of what the faq says.

Sorry 'bout that.  However, I just updated Cygwin again and the problem persists.
 
Maybe I don't understand what is meant by "fixed in the current Cygwin snapshot."  If I update Cygwin using the installer program don't I have the latest snapshot?  
 
I'm not sure what I need to do to fix the problem, other than updating Cygwin and reinstalling Xemacs (both of which I have tried).

Problem with Xemacs, cygwin and maybe XP

[Scott, Steven]

--Apologies for cross posting (between cygwin and Xemacs lists)---

I have a problem with the interface between Xemacs and cygwin (and maybe
XP).

I recently updated my cygwin distribution.  Now whenever I do anything
that starts a new shell on Xemacs the screen fails to refresh.

Examples include trying to LaTeX a document using auctex, start R (the
statistics program) using ESS, and start a shell using M-x shell.

Xemacs still responds to commands (I can quit using C-x C-c), but it
loses all ability to write to the screen.  For example, if I cover
Xemacs with another window, then remove the window, all I see is white
space in the area I covered.   

I'm running Windows XP
Xemacs 21.4, april 2001 (the "cygwin" version installed with the windows
installer "install now") 
My cygwin distribution is current as of today.

I have two XP computers and I have the same problem on both of them.  I
have third win2000 computer, but I'm scared to update cygwin on it just
to see if the operating system is part of the problem.
