Hello, Some time ago I found that the Cygwin-64 "factor" command did not seem to terminate with certain numbers, eg try: -> echo '3401347*3861211*12099721' | bc | factor
The developers provided a fix (in GNU coreutils 8.29), however, after some two years I still find the faulty factor command in the current Cygwin distribution. When are you planning to upgrade ? Cheers, Bernd PS I think this only affects 64bit version -- 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
