Hm. Okay, what if you run `strace /usr/bin/unison-2.32 -version`? When I do that, around line 375 of the output I see 6657 90249 [main] unison-2.32 5424 fhandler_base::write: binary write unison version 2.32.52 I'm not very knowledgeable about strace output, but if you attach yours here I can look for problems and compare it to mine. Also, from setup.exe, what version of unison2.32 are you using? Is it 2.32.52-3? There were earlier some versions of Unison that were briefly released that were broken in a way that I think looked like this. > > /usr/bin/unison should be just a symlink to /etc/alternatives/unison, > > which in turn is a symlink to one of your installed versions of unison. > > Yes indeed.

Arguably, yes. In this case the symlinks are there to help you manage multiple conflicting versions of Unison - see /usr/share/doc/unison/README.Cygwin.
