If you can provide a (very) simple test case that exhibits allegedly incorrect behavior, that would be helpful. -- Bob -- 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/
