Hi,

You should not send any GROMACS developer personal emails but use gmx-users 
mailinglist.

You get the 404 because the comma at the end of the URL. Without it the link 
should work. As context the old archived email is: 
https://mailman-1.sys.kth.se/pipermail/gromacs.org_gmx-users/2014-July/090827.html
The correct link is https://gerrit.gromacs.org/c/3764
The fix has been included since GROMACS 5. So any somewhat recent version 
shouldn't have that specific problem. But we don't regularly test GROMACS on 
CYGWIN. You might have more success if you use WSL (Windows subsystem for 
Linux) as a solution on Windows.
