Yes, that's the signal thread but I don't know why stopping it would cause any special problems since, if the entire program is stopped, it isn't going to be processing signals. What may be happening is that you are trying to suspend a thread which is blocking in the "ReadFile" call since that is what the "sig" thread is normally doing. If that is the case, then you are going to see problems any time a thread is doing blocking I/O. That would seem to indicate that you can't just generally suspend threads the way you are planning. cgf -- 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/
