Hello Corinna, > I've reproduced the effect (this only happens on 9x/ME) > and I've checked in a fix. Please try the next Cygwin > developers snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
the 2005-Mar-08 snapshot fixed the problem for me, under Windows 98 SE. I'd experienced the same problem as Jacek had, though I'd encountered it by running wget or touch. For others who might be in a similar situation, note that I had to run a non-Cygwin bzip2 [I'd used the one at http://www.bzip.org/1.0.2/bzip2-102-x86-win32.exe ] to decompress the snapshot, since this bug produced a "Permission denied" error within the Cygwin bzip2, which prevented the decompression of the snapshot... Thank you for the prompt fix!
