Bug description

Uses the latest possible cygwin (really like the setup.exe which updates
automatically :-) and took the cvs-sources for ocaml one hour ago.

The reason I did this is that I missed the debugger (right now I use a Linux
machine for debugging).

1. Compilation went well, however the bootstrapping didn't reach a fixpoint,
   tried twice. Same error both times:

make[1]: Entering directory /c/data/ocaml/src/ocaml' boot/ocamlc ocamlc differ: char 137, line 2 Fixpoint not reached, try one more bootstrapping cycle. make[1]: Leaving directory /c/data/ocaml/src/ocaml'

2. Tried the debugger and works, however 'reverse' crashes everything.

data$ cd ocaml/stocks/extract/
extract$ ocamldebug.exe all.exe
Objective Caml Debugger version 3.00+19 (2000-11-20)

3. It seems that the bytecode executables are larger than previously, 450K
   instead less than 300K.

Thanks for a nice product.
