I have a python application that works fine
on Linux and Mac but fails with Cygwin.

I tried using snapshot:
cygwin-inst-20080122.tar.bz2
but it still fails.  (In addition, stdout appears to not get flushed in
that snapshot).

Is it the case that the patch to the header
file requires the recompilation of applications
and libraries that use threading to make them work?

See these messages for context:

Thanks - Jim

Note that there was a suspicious python test failure
for test_wait4 with os.getpid() failing, but this may
be unrelated.
