I'll take a look at the source. Thanks; it is not very critical so don't spend too much effort trying to find a way to do so at runtime. We can always use the approach Jeff's Makefile patch took to make it safe (and potentially slow) by default on all Cygwin while still allowing people on an unaffected version to turn the workaround off while building. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
