obviously I know your patch since I tested it already (and even
accidentally checked in parts of it into the 64bit branch), so I know it
works.  However, your patch submission is broken due to wrong
line-breaks.  Can you please resend the patch, if you don't trust your
MUA, maybe better as text/plain attachment?

Oh and, btw., in the Cygwin ChangeLogs we tend to use up to 80 chars
per line.  That's not a big problem, I just want you to know for future
patch submissions.


Thanks,
Corinna
