I tried it, but it makes things even worse (*if* I did it right). I took cygwin1.dll and put it into /usr/bin, nothing else, I did no recompilation. Here's the report: I use the following batch file in the Startup folder to start sshd on Windows startup: ================ @echo off D: chdir \programme\cygwin\bin bash --login -c /usr/sbin/sshd.exe ================ With the old cygwin1.dll, the DOS-Window in which this batchfile is started, never vanishes. I checked "close window on exit" for the batchfile, but no result. With the new cygwin1.dll, the DOS-Window actually goes away after sshd backgrounds, which it should. So this is the good news. The bad news is that sshd still sleeps after having completed exactly 8 connections. I can't open any new connections to this sshd, so this behaviour didn't change with the new version. But in the old version I could kill sshd, start a new one, and I could try again for 8 connections. With the new version of cygwin1.dll, I can't even restart after killing sshd, the newly-started sshd never gets a connection. My current solution to the problem, by the way, is to run sshd from inetd (with the old library, of course), which may be inefficient, but works.
