This has been reported before, e.g.: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-08/msg00407.html It seems to be a problem with cygwin 1.5.25: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-12/msg00077.html (You can google for more.) My solution: alias spinfo='cygstart --maximize pinfo' (Replacing cygstart with 'cmd /c start /max' also works.) More diagnostic info: The crash happens with both bash and ash and cygstart bash -c pinfo sed and echo sed | gawk '{ system("pinfo " $1) }' or even echo sed | gawk '{ system("pinfo") }' It happens when windows loads bash directly (without a batch file) from a shortcut or via chere. It does not happen when using pinfo in a cmd window or is run from bash that has been loaded in a cmd window whether by cygwin.bat or by loading cmd and then typing in bash. -- 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/
