x86_64-pc-cygwin directory

Greetings, I've recently run setup-x86.exe on an AMD Operton machine running Windows Server 2003 to install in a directory /w/latest. (I installed more than just the baseline.) Setup created the following setup-x86.exe directories. Is that normal? What are they for? The files in the directori

cp vs copy performance over local network

Greetings, I've often noticed that there's a big difference in the performance between Cygwin cp and Windows copy over the local network -- cp usually takes twice as long for the same operation. Here's an example: muser@A4826995 /c/Users/Muser $ time cmd /c copy server\\w\\cygwin.zip .

Ctrl-C issue for Windows program

Hello, I run locally-developed Windows console program via mintty/cygwin. I've noticed a problem with Ctrl-C in mintty 1.0.3 not terminating my app.  The problem came about with my switching to "CYGWIN_NT-5.1 pc 1.7.10(0.259/5/3) 2012-02-05 12:36 i686 Cygwin".  Ctrl-C just makes the window hang.
