Apart from one or two minor issues, this tarball works fine under Cygwin 
1.7.1 with gcc 3.4.4, but with gcc 4.3.4 make check fails with

~/gnuradio-3.3git-594-g02616cf8/gnuradio-core/src/tests> ./test_all.exe
Testing gr_vmcircbuf_createfilemapping_factory...
....... gr_vmcircbuf_createfilemapping_factory: OK
Testing gr_vmcircbuf_sysv_shm_factory...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gr_signal'
Aborted (core dumped)

It appears that a signal is being caught and a gr_signal is being thrown but 
not caught.

This is probably a Cygwin-specific problem with exception handling in gcc 
4.3.4, but if anyone else has seen problems like this and has any insight as 
to the cause, I would like to hear about it.

Thanks,
