Sorry I missing this detail:

    $ fgrep openssl-devel /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/python2.6-2.6.1.README
    $

    $ fgrep -e -devel /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/python2.6-2.6.1.README 
    (besides corresponding -devel packages)

Thanks for the confirmation.

I don't know, but building Python 2.6 with openssl support causes the
treading related operations to core dump.  Maybe this particular code
path tickles a problem in Cygwin?  For some reason, Python 2.5.2 and 3.0
do not exhibit the same behavior.

I will continue to try to debug this problem, but any help will be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
