Well, so far I've had no crashes with 20040217, but obviously I haven't been running it very long. Something you might want to consider (I haven't done it, and YMMV) is rebasing: Thomas L Roche Tue, 3 Feb 2004 16:09:47 -0500 >>>> ~29 Jan I upgraded to cygwin-1.5.6-1, emacs-21.2.1, and whatever >>>> the latest XFree86 was then, along with the other goodness >>>> cygwin's setup advised me to get.
