When I log into a remote machine using ssh X11 forwarding, Vista pops up a box complaining about a process that died unexpectedly.

I see a similar but not identical problem was reported earlier: <http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2008-03/msg00398.html>. I'm also aware that Vista is not supported and that the problem has an easy work around. But I wonder if there is a deeper issue with OpenSSH, X11, cygwin, sh.exe, or something else that could be resolved.
Nothing in 'ssh' or Cygwin uses comctl32. My WAG would be AV/anti-spyware software is causing this. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
