Thread: cygwin bulds broken

At least on my machine, the latest Cygwin seems to break 
comprehensively, with a SEGV when starting postmaster.   It looks like 
it is failing ion the code that looks for the highest settable FD, but 
it's hard to say - the stack gets corrupted so getting a reliable 
backtrace is hard. Can anyone confirm that this is not just my machine? 
Warning - if you have a working Cygwin setup, don't just update it - 
copy/move it before updating/reinstalling.

cheers

I see lots of reports of this and other breakage on the Cygwin lists.
