Should be fixed in cvs. I'm generating a snapshot. The problem was caused by this change from Pavel Tsekov: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2002-q3/msg00064.html I had a nagging feeling that this was a problem when it was checked in. My fix still keeps this patch but it resets file pointers before execing a new process. That seems to work. -- 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/
