Any advice on what I'm seeing now?
A bug in Cygwin. Actually, 2 bugs, one generic bug and one in 64 bit Cygwin only. I applied patches to the git repo and I just uploaded new developer snapshots to https://cygwin.com/snapshots/ which contain the fixes. I'm also creating new test releases 2.2.0-0.4 and upload and announce them later today. Please give any of them a try, preferredly today, so I may be able to create the offical Cygwin 2.2.0 release today as well. Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
