I'm wondering whether this might be related to this old problem. http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00734.html I was having man pages where bold was not turn off properly. If I remember correctly, this suggestion fixed it for me. http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00552.html May it would fix one or both problems. - Barry -- 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/
