When you see a bug you suspect that there is a bug in the program. To debug a program you use gdb. It's really simple. No email to a mailing list required. No speculation that it could be a cygwin version. You run the program under the debugger and find out where the problem is. cgf -- Please do not send me personal email with cygwin questions.
