Probably. And, for that reason we're not going to be adding another cygwin option. There is little reason to provide workarounds like this when the real fix would be either to fix the user or the application. In particular, if dumper isn't providing a valid core dump, then it should certainly be fixed. Thanks for the effort provided in coming up with a patch, though, regardless. cgf -- 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/
