Thanks for tracking this down. It is impressive that you managed to pinpoint the problem so well. It helped quite a bit. There is a new version of setup.exe and setup-legacy.exe on cygwin.com now. Please let me know if this fixes the problem you noted. cgf -- 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
