Infinite loop in rxvt with recent Cygwin

This is on WinME with a Cygwin built from cvs last night. When a program, such as "sleep 10", is ^C interrupted, the shell enters an infinite loop, as if infinitely many RET were input. Pierre -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwi

tzset and TZ

On Cygwin calling tzset() and localtime() will set TZ in the environment (if it isn't set), while calling tzsetwall() will always set TZ. As far as I can tell this is both non standard and unnecessary. Am I wrong? Is it now a feature? Or is it "patch gratefully accepted"? Pierre -- Unsubscr
