Subject: B19.1: BASH hangs the system.
29 Mar 1998 12:31:35 -0800 :
Message-ID: <01BD5440.335FD300.cygnus.gnu-win32@244.newark-04.nj.dial-access.att.net>

I installed B19 and found that Windoze '95 would hang up the system when running BASH. After checking the FAQ I found that this was a known problem and was fixed in B19.1 so I installed the upgrade.

I have found the frequency of Windoze lockups is no better under B19.1 than B19. The situation where I find this problem to occur seems to be when I enter a command that the shell cannot execute (file does not exist, error in my path, typo, etc). Unfortunately the problem occurs with a frequency that makes using BASH not an option.
