As it turns out, the 32-bit program that I thought was causing the problem was actually running a a very old EMX (remember EMX?) binary, which was the real culprit. My apologies for the misdirection. >Please try the 2005-Jun-18 snapshot when it eventually shows up at ><http://cygwin.com/snapshots/>. The cygwin1 DLL in this snapshot has fixed the problem, at least for the 16-bit programs I have tried. My thanks to you and Corinna. >In case it isn't obvious, this is a Windows 98/Me bug, not a Cygwin bug. >That hardly matters, since we still have to deal with it, but I thought >I should mention this fact in the interests of full disclosure. A Windows bug? I'm shocked.
