I have now found the snapshots page, and the latest one contains 013-06-18 Christopher Faylor * dcrt0.cc (child_info_fork::alloc_stack): Don't subtract 4096 from stack pointer since getstack() already does that. Could someone confirm that is the fork fix of interest here? I am somewhat confused by the remark at http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.snapshots that "You cannot use Cygwin Setup to install a snapshot." So what exactly is installed by a snapshot? Is it just the core part of Cygwin? Is there enough included in cygwin-inst-YYYYMMDD.tar.bz2 so I can run setup.exe from the installed version of that tarball to download and install or update additional Cygwin components that I might need?
