I guess under cygwin, this is akin to a > registry entry spontaneously disappearing. I have a similar problem: my binary mounts will spontaneously become text mounts. I'm pretty sure that this problem plagued me on earlier releases too. It has become annoying enough that I finally kluged my rclock (from the rxvt package) to check my mounts every 10 minutes (instead of checking my mail) and signal an alarm if they are text rather than binary. I would welcome a "real" solution the the problem... --------------------------------------------------- Paul Poffenberger phone (250) 721 7741 Dept of Physics fax (250) 721 7752 University of Victoria email pof@uvic.ca --------------------------------------------------- -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
