Sounds like a local network problem if you're actually just using a local mirror and not just using it in addition to other mirrors on the Internet. That's just a WAG though. Perhaps you want to visit: <http://cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/> You can pull down 2.418 (really just adds resizable controls) and see if it acts differently. You can also pull down the debug version of 2.415. If it acts similarly, it would give you a quick basis to debug from, without having to rebuild 2.416. But if you're really serious about finding your problem, building 2.416 as debug locally is probably your best course of action. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
