I can say that is not what is happening (because it would not be using any CPU if it were waiting for input), but I will humour you the next time I see it freeze. I have (once) had that happen (make waiting for input that is), but I never thought of hitting ^D. And, just for completeness, I built and ran a CVS version from about an hour ago, and it has not failed yet (350 iterations). So, maybe someone already fixed this problem after Feb21. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
