I've been using this patch (applied directly on top of v1.7.11) for the last two weeks without problem. (So I guess you could declare it tested!)

Are you planning on an v1.7.11.2 anytime soon? If so, could I request that you include this patch in the release. (I am mildly surprised at the lack of complaints from cygwin users, but it would be nice to be able to point them to a release if they start flooding in :-P ).
