My remark wasn't meant at all as criticism. I rather wanted to apologize
for not fully following the instructions - which I understood to say to
attach the output straight as-is.

Sorry for again being unclear. The information above was soley meant to
complement the cygcheck output - which was produced on my XP-64 machine -
trying to say that the issue seems to be not tied to a certain OS variant.
