I quite frequently get a hang if I use a bash window while I am doing a lot 
of Win95 dialup modem activity (typically an IP connection via Win95 dialup 
networking, though also happens with a non-IP connection that does not even 
use TAPI).  This happens on b17.0 and 17.1, under Win95.

The hang is 'hard', i.e. I can't move the mouse and Ctrl/Alt/Del does 
nothing.  (I know NT 4.0 would probably solve this but it is rather large 
for my 20 MB RAM laptop and its power management is not so hot.)

I am not suggesting this is necessarily a Cygwin.dll or bash bug but I would 
like to know if anyone else has seen this. It could be a problem with my 
Win95 setup, so any private email with ideas on this would also be welcome.

By the way - Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to everyone on the list, and 
thanks again to the Cygnus guys who have been working on Gnu-Win32!

Richard
