I'm sorry to ask you to go to that trouble without being able to really guarantee the likelihood of success, but it was starting to look like you're running out of options to even try so I figured the cost-benefit-effort equation was getting into the realm where it became worth doing. Alas, this is a highly unpredictable and tricky to diagnose area. (Which, as a side note, really just thinking out loud, suggests to me that it would be really good if we could find some kind of definitive diagnostic for these problems, some symptom or side-effect we could detect or test we could perform). cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
