dr chip

as a long time user of netrw, i would like to do what i can to help with this
problem.

my current platform is win 10 (1809) with cygwin (uname -a):
CYGWIN_NT-10.0 hostnamehere 3.0.3(0.338/5/3) 2019-03-09 19:12 x86_64 Cygwin

i have just now compiled, linked, and installed 8.1.1005 with no problems and no
thrown warnings.

these are the make options i use:
--enable-perlinterp
--enable-pythoninterp
--enable-rubyinterp
--enable-tclinterp
--enable-cscope
--enable-multibyte
--with-features=huge

if it would be useful, i can send you via pm the list of cyg packages installed
on this system.
