I'm fairly current and am seeing the problem on both Win2k and WinXP.
$ uname -a

Your parenthesis suggestion seems to be working though and I haven't seen
the problem since I did that. The funny thing is that it was so
intermittent. I had a hard time getting it to do it every time. It was
like I was getting a stray EOF in there sometimes. Incidentally, the
command line I gave works much nicer if you put a "--" in it like so:
(/cygdrive/d/vim/vim60/gvim.exe `for file in $* ; do cygpath -w -- $file ;
done` &)
This way options get passed correctly to gvim without being gobbled up and
choked on by cygpath.
thanks and cheers,
Kris
