I am aware that there are some emacs problems with recent versions of the Cygwin dll and looking at this is on my todo list. Various things like a newborn and major layoffs at my place of employment have made it difficult to do anything at the moment. GNU emacs under Cygwin has been stable for quite a while, so my initial take is that the problem is undoubtedly due to a change in the Cygwin dll. Having spent lots and lots of hours tracking down various Cygwin problems (mostly not emacs-port related) I am dreading having to look at this particular problem. But like I said, it is on my todo list. If you want a stable emacs at the moment, the best advice I can give is to stick to older versions of the Cygwin dll until such time as I can fix this. It's not a great situation, but normally one does not have to debug the OS in order to maintain emacs! -- Joe Buehler -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
