And, indeed, since the only thing I should have done was expose the error message to the console, it's hard to see how it could affect other processes. There should be no change in behavior other than writing the message to stderr rather than just as an unseen (even if you were doing 'strace -m all') strace message. 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
