Perhaps. I actually did not intend debugging Cygwin dll at all and
just assumed (being used to the very useful output of linux' strace)
I get something *useful*. It was kinda usefult, just not exactly for
this problem.

As to reporting the issue to cygwin list: there are very trivial
problems which when long enough overlooked tend to give an impression
of malignant stupidity. I expect a wish to change the output of this
particular program in this particular project wont ever be granted
however long argued and whatever the arguments.

Prove me wrong (IOW: report it to cygwin and see something good happen).
