That's too bad. I was hoping this would become someone else's problem. In any case, it's easy enough to work around it. I just won't do an out-of-tree build for my future releases of emacs-23 for Cygwin. (The problem doesn't exist in emacs-24.) And I'll go ahead and do a rebuild of 23.2 for the Cygwin distribution within the next few days. Ken
