I was going to say "WJFFM" and point you to http://cygwin.com/problems.html but then I remembered that I have my /bin directory mounted with the -X option to squeeze that extra bit of performance out of cygwin. When I remove that option, I do occasionally get the error you reported. I'll release a new version which fixes this problem, ASAP. 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/
