Yes, it is set. If I make it use /tmp then it all works. Why the difference between using /tmp and ~/.emacs.d/server ? And why, suddenly, this problem related to permissions on the Local/Temp dir? The problem only surfaced after I upgraded, remember. Anyway, many thanks, it's much appreciated. -- 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
