Re: Setup 2.194.2.21 on Win98 - stack fault in kernel32.dll

[Lonnie Foster <lonnief at pobox dot com>]

I downloaded setup_old.exe (version 2.125.2.10) from the ftp mirror
where I downloaded the Cygwin packages, and it works perfectly,
without causing a stack fault. That would indicate to me that the
problem is with setup.exe itself and not with any of the
packages. Hopefully this nugget of information might narrow down the
problem.
