This solution is problematic as the Unisons avail with Cygwin are beta
versions 2.9.2 or 2.10.2 whereas the latest stable unison is 2.9.1.
Normally this wouldn't be a problem except these versions will not run
with a 2.9.1 version at the other end (Unison seems somewhat unique in
that regard - requiring the exact same version at both ends). And it's
simply not always possible to control what version is available at the
other end.

Hi All,
One temporary solution is to use the Cygwin version of unison, rather
than the native Windows version. The Cygwin unison package is
available through setup, or can easily be compiled from sources in
the Cygwin environment.

Hi All...
Back on Octber 4-6, Corinna, Chris and Bob Byrnes were discussing
temporarily reverting some of the pipe changes until a better
solution is found so that native unison and other native programs
would work with pipes (with ssh for example) on XP SP2.
With the release of the 1.5.12 cygwin1.dll, downgrading is no longer
an option...there are dependencies that prevent rolling the dll
back. Also, the cygwin1.dll version that temporarily solved the
problem is no longer available through setup.
Is a solution expected any time soon, or can the cygwin1.dll have a
temporary fix until a better solution is found.
Thanks,
...Karl
