I've tried the latest snapshot and "chroot /" works. I'll let you know if I see
other problems with chroot.
Thanks much,
Noel

If there are problems they would be in cygwin, not in the chroot program. This
is evidenced by the fact that you claim that things work better in 1.3.1 over
1.3.2. I doubt that chroot changed during that period.
Check out the cygwin web site for information on how to get the cygwin sources.
Or, wait for the next snapshot. I believe that I've fixed the problem.
