I can't recreate this problem with that version on a native GNU machine. It works okay for me. I think this is most likely a problem with the MS port of it. If you are using the gnuwin32 version then I suggest that you browse their bug database and report the problem to them. Looking on their web page I see this following bug database link found at the bottom of this page: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/lists.html Bob
