I am still having this problem (as evidenced by previous messages). I've come up with a bash script "test case" that demonstrates the problem: $ NUM=1; while true ; do echo $NUM; NUM=$(( $NUM + 1 )); done will run indefinitely, whereas: $ NUM=1; while true ; do echo `echo $NUM` ; NUM=$(( $NUM + 1 )); done Hangs pretty quickly, usually while printing some number in the 100-200 range. Killing the windows bash.exe process at the leaf of the process tree causes the script to resume counting. -Sam -- 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/
