It is premature to say that this is a "known problem" until we can see
where in gdb/cygwin the problem is occurring.
Until we get verification of that fact, I would still like to see debugging
information and would urge people not to download non-standard versions of
tye cygwin DLL. I have enough headaches with the snapshots that we provide
without having to worry about YA variant offshoot.
