Incredible but true. It was an alignment problem with a local buffer
in the function which moves the directory to the bin when a sharing
violation occurs. This seems to be a new problem with gcc-4. As long
as I built Cygwin with gcc-3, I never had this problem.
Please test the latest from CVS. It should fix your problem.
Thanks for the report,
Corinna
