Hi Corinna,
(Sorry, have't found time to properly subscribe to the list, yet)

I "lied" here :-) The non-admin case showed: ... sid: 0x246060
(So, almost the same)

But who will still be using XP within a company after after april 2014?'. So, does
have XP priority? Your decision, of course ...

The best thing to do, I believe, if you want to fix 'XP' (my machine may turn out
to be a "misfit").
However, I have started afresh with the 18/2 snapshot ...
Same result: getpwent crashed (db_enum: local) ... getgrent is ok.
Send me a cygwin1.dll? Ok, if you tell me how to handle the thing (i.e. include
some pointers to documents that I must read in order to be able to get results).
