Okay, instead of taking the approach I was doing (which appears to be more
problematic than I thought), can you try installing a new cygwin1 DLL
snapshot as I described in my e-mail to Alfredo Knecht on the list, i.e.:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Okay. Let's try a different approach. Please download the May 25th snapshot
of the cygwin1 DLL from http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/snapshots/

i.e. cygwin1-20000525.dll.gz

Uncompress it with "gunzip cygwin1-20000525.dll.gz" and then exit all your
running cygwin applications. Now go to the "bin" subdirectory of your
cygwin installation and rename "cygwin1.dll" to "cygwin1.dll.old". Now copy
in the uncompressed cygwin1-20000525.dll and rename that to cygwin1.dll

This should fix the problem and you can continue.

Note that snapshots after the 25th May and up to (at least) the 31st May
definitely do not work - they are very broken in other ways - so do not
install those.

I have been patiently waiting for the cygwin team to produce an official
1.1.2 update to the cygwin DLL which includes this bug fix, but
unfortunately it still hasn't happened.

Can you tell me which blocking list it says you are on (ORBS, RSS, DUL,
MAPS, etc), and the IP address it is complaining about? I would like to get
this sorted out for you.

Let me know how using the new DLL goes,
