rebaseall might have done the trick (still need more time to be sure since the problem was sporadic).
i don't really understand why my system needed it. it's a clean install plus openssh, rsync, psmisc, netcat, vim. you might want to consider getting a blurb about "rebaseall" into the event log entry for fork failures. i am running under Windows 7... could that contribute? thanks for the help. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
