After sending my rant, I thought about the fact that you might be routinely using CYGWIN=tty. I tried running a make with that and managed to get some strange behavior. So, I can duplicate this. It was, of course, my old friend vfork. I am seriously considering just ripping out vfork support. I have to do a benchmark to see if there is actually any speed savings for this since I'm adding so many kludges and workarounds to support it that I'm wondering if it is actually slower than normal fork. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
