I used to predictably get it any time I ran 'perl -de 0' so I suspected that it had something to to with Perl::ReadLine or Perl::ReadKey, i.e., http://gentoo-portage.com/dev-lang/perl/bugs I can't trip it regularly anymore after the above update but I am fairly certain that I see it every so often at random times. I really wasn't thinking of this as fodder for a cygwin problem when it happened so I wasn't paying too much attention. OTOH, I could be wrong, since I just noticed YA update for malloc. It doesn't seem like the changes in malloc 2.8.2 would have fixed this problem but a new version of cygwin1.dll is available, 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/
