Not that I'm "demanding" anything or goodness knows, making suggestions about how you 'Oh Great One' should allocate your resources - goodness *no*! But this notion that a WinDoze problem is not *also* a cyg*win* problem - is quite a *CURIOUS* one to this *clueless* simpleton - INDEED!! Seems in a way that you're saying "I don't care if what I built doesn't work for this or that because it's Microsoft's problem". I really don't think you as one who is quick to let Microsoft define what he can and can't do - as you yourself have said "I fix all sorts of problems in cygwin which are really windows problems" So indeed you pick and choose which *Microsoft* problems to fix that keep cyg*win* from working - all along *denying* it's a cyg*win* problem ..... Interesting how a 'Great' mind works ;-) .....

What a clueless comment. It is not "denial" to assert that an OS which allocates memory and doesn't free it is broken. If cygwin triggers a windows problem that does not mean that it is a cygwin problem no matter how hard that is for you to understand. I fix all sorts of problems in cygwin which are really windows problems but, golly gee, if I can't duplicate them, I can't fix them. And, my willingness to debug some things is limited. If it takes running a perl script every five minutes for a day to duplicate the problem, then that is not something that I'm going to do anytime soon. This is not denial. This is a refusal to take a large amount of my time to find a workaround to a windows problem. -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
