I compiled PRNGD against cygwin and installed it as a cygrunsrv service.
When I try to start the service, I get the infamous:
"Could not start the PRNGD service on Local Computer.
The service did not return an error. This could be an
internal Windows error or an internal service error.

Ok, I've installed the upadte. Tests are running now
I think I've run into a problem involving fread.
I open a test file (fopen) with Write-Only access ("w"),
immediately after that, I do an fread on the file handle
of some number of bytes.
I expect fread to return an error. But it doesn't.
It returns 0 as the number of bytes read, and the

I don't know where you got this idea but it's absolutely not true.
There should never be a physical directory backing the cygdrive prefix,

Which apparently didn't serve as a clue?
The hint was written before the always-visible cygdrive .
Oh, wrong thing entirely. Before, on my box, if you use the normal command
prompt and set the PATH again, it won't be there. Dunno how this got
resolved, but it got resolved. Apologies for the spam.

I'm trying to find a way to make the cygdrive prefix directory

This was actually the old behavior in cygwin, but at some point it
changed to become visible. The cygwin installer now also creates a

No. You don't.
You just need to have, e.g., c:\cygwin\bin in your PATH, as Dave said.
I'm not sure why you thought you needed to elaborate
You have to set yourself up with a Windows batch script before you can even
start GNU programs. Take the cygwin.bat in C:\cygwin for example A simple
batch script like this:
@echo off
C:
set PATH=C:\cygwin\bin;%PATH%

This is a Cygwin specific bugfix release which solves two potential
crashes in pstree.
The psmisc package contains utilities for managing processes on your

Hi,
When I try to edit /etc/hosts with vim7, it gives this error:
E303: Unable to open swap file for "hosts", recovery impossible
The file can be edited, but this never happened with 6.4

For some reason it doesn't happen on my machine, but that doesn't
