Chris, you need a two month vacation without your laptop. You ask for
any known problems, someone reports one and then you become enraged. I
was about to report one as well and haven't mentioned it before because
I've not had the time as yet to track it down. It is a random problem
where when starting bash through rxvt the process hangs. The windows
Task Manager reports the process is Not Responding. I can only guess
that there is a race condition between parent and child processes. I
start rxvt via a shortcut to a batch file that I've attached, in case it
is important in how it is started.
I agree with Kazuhiro, it isn't ready to release.
Regards,
Earnie
