This is a fresh environment, with the latest Cygwin, and the libxml2
versions stated in my initial email. It's been locked up all night
long, and it's a typical WinXP i686 platform. How can I get more
information about this failure? Considering we just want to use it as a
simple XML and XSD parser in Python, I'm not too concerned about
threading issues, unless the library uses threads internally to speed
things up. So, can anyone answer/solve my other questions/problems? I'm
trying to install the Python rpm? (see below)

Thanks,
Brian
