Lasse, I'm sorry, but I can't handle that quickly. Since you're looking into the code and apparently understanding it, maybe you'd like to provide patches, too? Please have a look at https://cygwin.com/contrib.html. Patches <= 10 lines don't even need a copyright assignment. Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
