^^^ this second one's solved (ish)
I'm running it in a directory where /bin/sh exists and /bin/sh is a Linux
ELF file (because I'm playing with Line). when I run chroot ., Cygwin tries
to run /bin/sh, but for some reason thinks it's a script. Scripts are run
with /bin/sh, so off Cygwin goes to look for /bin/sh...ad nauseum.Chris -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
