I suspect this could be the corrupted .lst.gz file in /etc/setup problem that we've seen once or twice recently. It might be instructive to run setup while using sysinternals' filemon or process monitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb545046.aspx) and see what was the last file (or the last few files) it tried to access before it crashed. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
