My 32 and 64-bit .bash_profile scripts are identical and the default; I learned long ago not to waste effort on tweaking individual setups. both 1494 bytes long, both mistyping 'beneficial'. Different MD5 sums, but: $ diff bash32 bash64 8c8 < # base-files version 4.2-3 --- > # base-files version 4.2-4 However, the CVS_RSH hint worked and fixed the problem on that 64-bit install. Easy enough to add in a two-line checkout script, but... I've got another older 64-bit install - again, default scripts - that has never shown this problem. There's something very odd here; where else in systemwide scripts might set CVS_RSH? thanks Lloyd Wood http://savi.sf.net/ -- 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
