wrong list .... isn't this a binutils question? :]. Seriously though,
someone there may well be able to answer this. On a related note, I
didn't realise the fix would be so simple. My understanding was that the
variables in question cannot cope with the address's being different
between parent and child, and tacking a 1/2Mb on the end of the
cygwin1.dll address space wouldn't affect that - that area would get
relocated too. perhaps I'm missing something though.
