Re: Can't telnet after ssh

Serious performance problems (malloc related?)

plit(). Anyway, any help would be appreciated. This really is a rather serious problem. We have some users waiting three minutes for the sim to start. While I would obviously prefer they upgrade to Linux to avoid this problem, in the real world I suspect we're likely to be losing users in

Re: Serious performance problems (malloc related?)

n-trivial application (http://www.flightgear.org), takes all of 5 commands to verify that can be copied right out of the source code, and even comes with a (IMHO) pretty insightful guess as to where the problem might lie. Most developers have erotic fantasies about this kind of bug report.

Bash 3.0 packaging problems

Hi, In addition to the issues with the prompt reported elsewhere, bash-3.0-7 seems to have some minor packaging issues: 1) The info file is missing. Running "cygcheck -l bash" on bash 2.05 lists "/usr/share/info/bash.info" but is not found in the bash 3.0 package. /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/bash-3.0

MAX_ARG_PAGES

ion for each file, rather than one for the whole lot. Under Linux I would tweak the MAX_ARG_PAGES to allow a larger Argument list. Is it possible to do something similar on Cygwin ? And if so, how ? Thanks in advance. Andy Fry Technical Consultant Essential Computer Systems Ph: +61 8 8223 1144 F
