No. You need to add some hooks. The cygheap changes that I made a while ago make this very easy, though. I had the hooks written and cygwin compiled. Then, sending this email started a whole flood of new ideas about what needed to be changed. I think it might just be possible to allow two different cygwins to coexist without this as long as they share the mount table. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. It means that instead of getting "shared memory mismatch" we'll be hearing about how the new version of cygwin doesn't fix their problems -- because they still have a cygwin1.dll in their windows/system directory. Hmm. Maybe I should make cygwin1.dll complain if it is placed in the windows/system directory. Why do I suddenly picture Bugs Bunny saying "Ain't I a stinker"...? cgf
