My apologies for the substandard report. I forgot to take notes the last time it happened. :-( Now I remember ... it's the message that warns about files having changed -- so you need to reboot or things won't work right. But this stops the download until you dismiss the popup. :-( Richard -- 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/
