If you want to analyze the strace yourself and offer comment, then please do so. Sending strace snippets is normally useless. 99% of the time, people send the equivalent of a photo of an accident scene with the thought that the picture will show why the accident occurred, i.e., the strace snippet is worthless. I gave up trying to inspect unsolicited strace output a long time ago. 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/
