Right, like the mental bash bug I brought up ages ago... Anyways, I interpret the "grep blah" answer as a "figure it out." I was throwing out the thoughts to get people moving in parallel on figuring it out. I can't look into it right now - but was prompted to add my thoughts since I noticed someone else noticed. I can tell you this, it's not a machine issue. Something is amiss since the top down change. I don't have the answer right now as to what it is and won't be able to debug on my own for a bit (work). -cl -- 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/
