Setup 2.194.2.21 on Win98 - stack fault in kernel32.dll

[Lonnie Foster <lonnief at pobox dot com>]

I have attempted to install the 1.3.10 release of Cygwin a couple of
times now, using both the Install from Internet and Install from Local
Directory options. Everything runs smoothly through the Select
Packages to Install screen. After clicking Next on that screen, the
Progress dialog appears for a few seconds, then a stack fault
occurs. The debug dump from Win98 is included below on the off chance
it's useful in tracking this problem down.

It doesn't seem to matter which packages I choose to install,
either. I've tried both the Default packages and a full install, and
both result in a stack fault. I have also tried moving both setup.exe
and the package files to different directories, thinking it might be a
problem with too long a path name or a space in the path name leading
to either setup or the packages; no luck there, either.

Just yesterday, I was able to run Cygwin setup without a hitch on my
Windows XP machine, but it absolutely refuses to cooperate with
Windows 98. I notice from the archives that someone reported this
problem around mid-February 2002, but there were no replies to that
posting. Any help would be appreciated.
