Hmm, I wonder if those trying to extend their zone count have remembered
to do the bit above...

Sounds very dubious, strange question, but have you tried compiling
without optimisation? The code above looks right, but it could be a
library or gcc bug in cygwin...

You may find upgrading to the latest cygwin, b20 or b21 I think, may
help. You should also be able to find gcc 2.95.2 as well, and probably
the latest version of gdb (v 5.0) I've not actually looked at cygwin
for a while. But I've definetly had circlemud working under cygwin...
