Yes, but...

This is unrelated. Apparently getclip is no longer compatible with current cygwin. The cygwin native clipboard format has changed. New format starts with a timestamp which is interpreted as data size by getclip.


BTW: I would suggest to start CYGWIN_NATIVE_CLIPBOARD format with a version number that can be checked by external programs.
