Yes, actually.  I am still puzzling over all of the extra logic that you
pass in cygheap.  I don't understand the need for special handling of

I'm pursuing my own cygwin interests at the moment, when my real job
doesn't interfere.  Although in this case, I'm actually doing cygwin
work for Red Hat but it's not my real job, but there is still potential
revenue associated with it, but...
