Ken, thanks for replying. These are the DLL's in the strace output, expanded with "ldd." I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Is there a list of DLL's known to cause problems with Cygwin? How would I better isolate the problem causing DLL? Specific verbiage in the strace output? Should I run strace with the "-a" option? 1 CRYPTBASE.DLL => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/CRYPTBASE.DLL (0x7fff42b50000) 2 KERNEL32.DLL => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNEL32.DLL (0x7fff452d0000) 3 KERNELBASE.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNELBASE.dll (0x7fff435f0000) 4 RPCRT4.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/RPCRT4.dll (0x7fff46070000) 5 SYSFER.DLL => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/SYSFER.DLL (0x5a0b0000) 6 advapi32.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/advapi32.dll (0x7fff45530000) 7 bcryptPrimitives.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/bcryptPrimitives.dll (0x7fff44020000) 8 bcryptprimitives.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/bcryptprimitives.dll (0x7fff44020000) 9 cygiconv-2.dll => /usr/bin/cygiconv-2.dll (0x3ba9e0000) 10 cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x180040000) 11 msvcrt.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/msvcrt.dll (0x7fff444c0000) 12 ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7fff462a0000) 13 psapi.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/psapi.dll (0x7fff44790000) 14 rpcrt4.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/rpcrt4.dll (0x7fff46070000) 15 sechost.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/sechost.dll (0x7fff447a0000) ===== Keith -- 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
