You mean beyond the obvious course of action (i.e. debugging)? Well, I'd recommend checking 1.5.10 since it's the current release. If that doesn't resolve the issue, I suppose you could try a snapshot to see if the problem has been caught and resolved after the release (though you may see other problems since snapshots at this point are the result of active and ongoing development, with very little testing). Otherwise, your best bet is to build the Cygwin DLL and debug into it as needed. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
