I'd suggest reporting it to whomever built the cygwin version you're using. Cygwin is a really strange thing. It pretends it's *NIX and makes programs that are running on Windows think they're running on *NIX, so they try to do *NIX-y things, but they fail because at the bottom of the stack, it's still Windows. If you can at all avoid using Cygwin, do so. Many of the GNU command-line programs (grep, sed, awk, wc, more, et. al.) have been ported to native Win32 and work great. > BTW, what's TSVN? TortoiseSVN
