[Coin-osi-devel] Osi/stable testing

[Ted Ralphs]

Something resembling this problem was discussed extensively a few months
ago and I thought we finally had it fixed. The SYMPHONY unit test used
to fail under CYGWIN with -mno-cygwin for the same reason but now it
runs fine. I'll give it a try and see what I find.

Cheers,

Ted
