  It is patched in newlib cvs, and then a second patch was applied on top to
fix a minor oversight, so if you're using cvs newlib, yes revert ("cvs up -C")
it.  

  However the actual problem is probably that you need to manually patch your
*previously-installed* stdio.h in /usr/include.  The change won't filter down
to /usr/include until the next cygwin release.
