OK, if you want more output change the first line to "@echo on", and while you are there why not put "--verbose --debug" parameters to bash. > I tried out the following command from a cmd window: > > strace bash --login -i > nick.out > > This command yielded a command prompt.

Never seen something like that. > Any other ideas out there? Only questions: your cygcheck output said the PC has 4 processors, is it 2 with hyper-threading or really 4? Some people have reported unusual errors with hyper-threaded CPUs, most problems where solved some time ago but you should search the list just to make sure. Perhaps you can get out something interesting with the --debug parameter to bash. -- René Berber -- 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/
