The fact that I could duplicate the problem means that I'm in the same state as you. >I managed to extract the snapshot and replace the cygwin1.dll while not >running any cygwin apps.

Yes. You need to do something like: c: cd \cygwin\etc for %f in (*.done) do sh ./%f That's what I did (although I've turned off my system and don't have the exact syntax so I might have gotten it wrong). I did see an error about midway through as sh was processing the files which I have to investigate but it wasn't a STACK_OVERFLOW and it seemed to be coming from bash itself. When I was done, after clicking on the cygwin icon, I had the expected bash prompt. >I thought maybe I could just try to reinstall bash after replacing the >cygwin1.dll. What do you think? That won't cause all of the other postinstall scripts to run. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
