Hello,
I've installed all the Cygwin-1.7.0 packages uptodate, on my Windows
XP machine.
I do experience a segmentation fault whenever i launch a program when
the PATH is not set.
When PATH is badly set (but set), nothing happens (and the result is
OK).
See below how to reproduce. When i switch back to 1.7.0-61, the problem
disappears. On a Windows 2000 machine, the same happens.
Thank you to spend a little time to take my problem into consideration.
Denis Excoffier.
