After getting better instructions from Igor Peshansky than are in the
Cygwin FAQs about installing Cygwin snapshots, I installed the lastest
Cygwin snapshot.
Unfortunately, this did not fix anything with respect to running
Singular -- and in particular with respect to running it with Emacs. I
just detailed what works and what does not at:

I'm running latest Cygwin under Windows XP Pro (SP2, with all

After I start cygwin with its bash shell, command
Singular
gives error:
Singular " signal 11 (v: 3001/2005111410):

(The number after "r:" changes depending on what else is running in
windows.) But Cygwin never recovers, and it freezes.
At first I tried uninstalling Singular, downloading the Singular
packages again, and re-installing; same error. I completely
uninstalled Cygwin, downloaded Cygwin again including the Singular
packages, and re-installed. Same error.
On the other hand, if I go to the subdirectory lib\Singular of the
main cygwin directory and double-click Singular.exe, then Singular
does run, in a DOS command prompt window (although I see message
"cannot open `standard.lib'".
So the bug seems to be somewhere in the interface between Singular and
cygwin. Any ideas of how to proceed. (I did report this bug on the
Singular web site a couple days ago but have had no response.)
Does a recent snapshot make a difference?
