This is not quite true. The problem only occurs for a small number of users, and until recently none of these have been able or willing to debug it. The core developers are getting frustrated as they cannot reproduce the problem. I believe some progress is now being made (see Brian Ford's postings), so hopefully the problem will soon be understood, and a fix is then likely to appear. -- Cliff -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
