You strace shows nothing, it just stops at one point. Are you running from a console or from mintty? When running in a console in default notty mode, :w! or :wq! works fine. Can you try again? Perhaps with other strace flags? strace -o vim.trace -m 0xffff vim-nox /etc/hosts Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- 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
