I did leave processes running when I did the update; good guess, but nope I did not skip the restart. I choose the continue option and whenever I got the restart message, I did a restart. I believe I have the latest setup as well, but am going to get a new one just in case. Hopefully this won't happen in future. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
