PLEASE help with V1.0 canonical mode problem

Dear Cygnus,
I have written several times in regards to the canonical mode
problem with the V1.0 CD.
Problem synopsys: With Cygwin V1.0, if you run the black "bash"
window with CYGWIN=tty, or if you run xterms from Siddiqi's XFree86
compile, you can't backspace if you run "cat -" or
"dc" or "read" (bash built-in) etc etc.
Cygnus has ACKNOWLEDGED this as a problem with V1.0.
I would *REALLY* like to get a patch for this problem as it is REALLY
annoying and it is the *ONLY* reason why I'm not running V1.0 on
all of my PC's.
I notice that if I use a later snapshot version of cygwin1.dll, the problem
disappears. Is there a snapshot version of cygwin1.dll that Cygnus feels
is pretty stable that I could be using to get around this bug?
Better yet, how about a patched version of cygwin1.dll for V1.0?
Come on, guys, I bought the CD. Aren't you supposed to offer even a
little
support?
Many thanks,
Sorry for the frustration,
Jim Grishaw
