Re: Building beta under cygwin

hi, this is just totally shooting off a random shot, but awhile ago when i switched Extbyte to be char instead of unsigned char in my local system, i discovered two bugs that caused crashes. recently, Martin went ahead and made the switch on his own in the tree, and he fixed one but not the other. this second bug fix may have been a crash under cygwin [probably with mule], so there's a remote possibility it will fix your problem. [in any case, it will go in in a few days. i'm working on it.] try it point; it's attached.
