No - it's nothing to do with security. It should probably be debian-cd, to
which I have copied it.

Unlikely to be anything to do with MS. After all, Win98 and Win2K are
completely different OSes that happen to have an almost-common API.
Since the pseudo-image-kit uses Cygnus ports of the UNIX utilities, I
suggest you'd be better off asking them. The most likely explanation is that
you've found a bug in the version of Cygwin which it uses - since the
cygwin1.dll in the pseudo kit is missing its version info. I can't tell. The
current DLL version (1.3.2) is available from
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ and it works fine under Win2K. Whether
Cygwin 1.3.2 works in the context of the pseudo-image-kit I do not know.
