The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

The '-u' or '-d' option of getclip does not seem to work properly
under xterm.
How to reproduce:
1) Open an xterm
2) Select a simple piece of text (with no line ending)
3) getclip -u
4) Observe 'Segmentation fault(core dumped)'
If step 2 is replaced by ‘printf AAAA | putclip', no error.
If step 3 is replaced by ‘getclip’, no error.
I can’t tell whether this is new or not.
It appears to be old. An xterm selection is placed on the Windows
clipboard in CF_UNICODETEXT format. 'getclip' can deal with this,
'getclip -u' and 'getclip -d' cannot; they always request CF_TEXT (i.e.,
ANSI) format and assume they get a buffer of data. But the formats
don't match and there's no data supplied. That's why the segfault occurs.
Odd... I think that Windows should convert CF_UNICODETEXT to CF_TEXT if
needed
