Cygwin build issues...

Here's the latest update on Cygwin...  We've got a rather old version of 
Cygwin that we have to use right now (cygwin1.dll says 5-20-2001 ;)...  
Everything works beautifully.  Our application is compiled with the 
-fnative-struct flag and linked to the prebuilt binaries Tor supplies and it 
executes just fine (Tested under NT4, 2000 and XP)...  however, with the 
newest version of cygwin we can link it, but not run it due to varying heap 
errors depending on the platform... go figure...  I'd love to know what's 
changed in the newer version...  sun-rpc doesn't work either anymore :(  
Getting a native cygwin build is still a priority though as we would 
eventually like to go to the newest Cygwin...  I'll post links for the 
binaries if I meet with any sort of success ;)
