Hi John:

For some reason, the automated bug report did not list your OS.
So, just to be sure, could you tell us what it is?  I'm not sure
it matters.  I haven't used Emacs with Cygwin, but I have used
XEmacs and there are some issues.  I'm not knocking Cygwin either,
since I actually like it.  But, it is another possible point of
failure.
