I thought that waiting for 220 was something that would be done... maybe I am dreaming though :) Maybe I should read some of the code sometime ;) > > > the log from the time where it consumed memory evilly, it recorded x as the > > first thing after the get_url_to_string... > > > > so I would guess that the bug stems previous to that... > > IMO if the problem is triggereddepends on who compiled the > setup.exe.

(since I hadnt initialised it at all in the first place ... oops) > > -- > Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple > Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html > Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html > FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ > > -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
