Do you mean put in a command that doesn't exist, or just doesn't exist within
Cygwin32? It is perhaps possible that the misspelt command is actually a
valid Windoze one, and it is *this* command that is hanging?
I'm running v19.1 with Sergey's CYGWIN.DLL on v4.00.950B Windows95, and
I used the following session:
BASH.EXE-2.01$ zoggo
BASH.EXE: zoggo: command not found
BASH.EXE-2.01$ pootle
BASH.EXE: pootle: command not found
BASH.EXE-2.01$ ds
BASH.EXE: ds: command not found
BASH.EXE-2.01$ wibble
BASH.EXE: wibble: command not found
BASH.EXE-2.01$ kludge
BASH.EXE: kludge: command not found
BASH.EXE-2.01$ gazonga
BASH.EXE: gazonga: command not found
BASH.EXE-2.01$ boobley
BASH.EXE: boobley: command not found
BASH.EXE-2.01$ billgates
BASH.EXE: billgates: command not found
BASH.EXE-2.01$
As you can see, no lock up. Could you give an example of the kinds of
misspellings that cause the
system to hang? As you will appreciate, the first step in fixing the problem
would be to get the developers
able to duplicate the problem - otherwise they're just poking around in the
dark.
The other point is - are you sure of the validity of your installation?
# This may not happen to all, though I do think it
#does. This is a MUST fix, or it's useless to use it, as not all of us
#can be the most perfect of spellers all the time.
Is this WAS the case, then the mailing list would be full of
complaints/comments. It isn't, therefore this 'problem'
isn't as widespread as you appear to be suggesting. As to not being the most
perfect of spellers, point
out someone who is ;-)
