Here is a very basic issue: If you are going to be submitting a bug report you should be making things as simple and as clear as possible. The fact that there are two cygwin DLLs in play here adds additional confusion and complication. If we now have to enter into a theoretical discussion about what should be allowed, we have needlessly strayed from the initial problem. Given the number of historical problems we have had with mixing two versions of Cygwin and given that our consistent guidance is to only have one on your computer, there is no reason to get into a discussion about what is allowed. Just use one version. You can easily switch back and forth using windows tools. cgf -- 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
