Good guess, but this isn't the problem, I created a cygwin.bat
file which sets up my environment (including the CYGWIN variable)
before starting my shell.
I final did figure out the problem, and Earnie was correct, my
CYGWIN variable was not being set correct. In my batch file, I setting
the CYGWIN variable in my batch file according to an example
in the 1.0 manual, and it looked like:
SET CYGWIN="nontsec tty notitle binmode"
However, when I got rid of the quotes:
SET CYGWIN=nontsec tty notitle binmode
it started working as expected again. So I'm guessing that
the quotes made it one big string to the dll instead of
four different strings.. :)
Anyway, you guys might want to fix you're manual, as I'm sure
I'm not the only one that will get confused over that example..
Thanks for all the help.
