OK, I just grabbed that, bunzip2ed it, and dropped it in the Cygwin bin
directory. Here's what I get:

    Erik@erikd-win /cygdrive/c/
    $ tla register-archive http://www.mega-nerd.com/Arch/2004/
    Registering archive: erikd@mega-nerd.com--2004

    Erik@erikd-win /cygdrive/c/
    tla get erikd@mega-nerd.com--2004/libsndfile--hack lsf
    * from archive cached: erikd@mega-nerd.com--2004/libsndfile--hack--0--base-0
    * patching for revision: erikd@mega-nerd.com--2004/libsndfile--hack--0--patch-1
    arch_apply_changeset: internal error (patch (1) returned odd status)
       patch(1) exit status: 3

    PANIC: arch_apply_changeset: execvp for patch returned to caller

This archive is know to work from Linux and MaxOSX machines :-).
My Cygwin installation was updated within the last month.

Are there any other changes in your Cygwin repository that would not exist
in the default Cygwin installation?

Well, if nothing else, at least I supplied you with another data point :-).
