Thanks for the report. I could reproduce the issue. I also found the current git master does not have this issue, while cygwin-3_3-branch does. Now I am identifying which patch solved the issue. One is obviously: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-patches/2022q2/011870.html however, this was applied also for cygwin-3_3-branch. Therefore, another patch also should affect this issue. -- Takashi Yano <takashi.y...@nifty.ne.jp> -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
