I'll rebuild again then.

Yes, that sounds good.

I've used your patch.  I'll have to check about the fdopen (honestly,
it's been a while since the last time I tried).

I haven't noticed a memory leak in the cygwin X11 build of GTK (which
doesn't mean it's not there).  That's a pretty big problem.

Yes, I certainly agree.
