That means you have (or can get) the source code yourself, and find the answer to this and nearly every other question. Even if you don't have the time to do that, every one else on this list also has the source code. While THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO IMPOSE OR DEMAND AN ANSWER (capital letters because newbies often impose and demand answers), there is /no/ reason for speculation ``does anyone know what it is for''. Unless the behavior is un-intentional (which seems very unlikely) the Cygwin developers (who read this list) /will/ know what it is for. Just FYI, of course. > Thanks, > -alex Jon Cast -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
