No, somebody on the xemcs list said "cygwin-xxxx fixes this other problem in bash related to cygdrive. MAYBE it also fixes our xemacs problem which is related to cygdrive. Can somebody check?" And somebody DID check -- and reported "Nope, doesn't fix it" End of story. >> >>Someone should actually *debug the problem*. >> > > Ah. Nevermind.

I think that debugging is ongoing right now. (But cygwin IS a moving target; you can't blame folks for *hoping* that the fix for problem A will also nail problem B...and delaying their debug efforts until after they get the new kernel with the A-fix. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
