Using the 2000-Sep-29 snapshot seems to have changed 
something!  It does seem to be more reliable (it's always 
hard to tell with these things, but it only seems to have 
dumped once in this way since I installed the snapshot). 
I'll include the stackdump, but (partly because I've 
changed from using bash to ash  -- which doesn't 
exhibit this problem -- for some of the more important 
things) this now seems stable enough for me to use very 
successfully.  Thanks!  

I don't know if you want to take this any further or not; I
don't really know what the problem is that you're trying to
fix now, so I don't really know that I can do much more to
help!  I will certainly keep trying out any new snapshots if
this would help, or let me know if there's anything else I
can do, but short of coming up with a reproducible testcase
(which seems hard! )-: I'm stuck.

On which topic, what's the best forum for reporting bugs
in the snapshots?  The 2000-Sep-29 snapshot appears to
be unable to resolve through symlinks to directories with
trailing slashes, and although I suspect it's been found 
and fixed and is therefore not worth reporting, I can't 
access the CVS sources though our firewall to check, and 
there doesn't appear to be a later snapshot at the moment.

$ ln -s /bin dummy
$ ls dummy
[works]
$ ls dummy/
ls: dummy/: Not a directory
$ ls dummy/.
ls: dummy/.: Not a directory
$ ls dummy/cygwin1.dll
dummy/cygwin1.dll

Thanks,

Andy
