My fault. I removed a call to RegisterClipboardFormatW without realizing that this will break the clipboard after execve. Sorry about that. I just applied a patch which fixes this again. Please test the today's snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/, which should show up in the next couple of hours. Thanks for report and thanks in advance for testing, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
