Maybe it's some temporary thing that isn't specific to Cygwin, but
doesn't happen every time. Like I said, I have a vague memory of
something similar for the emacs-snapshot package. I think it was:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=2590

It's hard to see what could have changed between 23.1 and 23.2 to
cause this, nor why it should go away in 24.1.

Great, thank you.
