Remember, the problem only occurred with the latest cygwin and this older version of Avantail. The same code compiled with Visual Studio always ran fine. So, there is some interaction between cygwin1.dll and Aventail...
It may be, well I know NIS and ZoneAlarm do it, that some firewall software install their own versions of winsock and maybe other dll's so they can enhance their firewall code and intrusion detection. Don't know what Aventail is but it may have done the same. Maybe just something else...but who knows :-) Regards, Elfyn McBratney [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.exposure.org.uk -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
