What I said was no one has downloaded the code to try to reproduce  
the problem on your end, where presumably you have familiarity with  
the code which is causing the trouble and have working debugger  
symbols.  I realize this is a lot of work, and I certainly don't  
expect anyone to jump to help, which is why I'm putting time in on my  
end as well and do what I can.  But it is nice to be met halfway,  
especially when there are indications that there is a problem on your  
end, and resolving this issue will probably benefit cygwin's  
stability more than me.

Don't twist my words to imply I don't appreciate the positive  
feedback which I have received, and *do* appreciate.  Particularly  
Corinna as she at least glanced through some cygwin code to look for  
a cause, while significantly more attention has been directed at the  
simple post script that plain-text-only is a bit behind the times.   
It's OK, I understand it's certainly more fun to flame the new guy  
than look for bugs, I know. ;)

So to Corinna's end, I'd love to provide a simpler test case, but I  
can't isolate the cause without knowing the origin of the hang, which  
I can't determine without the debugger symbols, which still aren't  
working properly, so perhaps we can get back on topic with that.

PS the pointless email format zealotry thread has been moved to  
cygwin-talk, for reference.  Please direct your flames in that  
direction.
