I have reproduced the problem with a recent snapshot ('25), and strace, but I am only using a single strace output file, so it keeps going and over-writes the errored strace with the next run. I will run it tonight while preserving all strace logs, but I can only run for about 1500 iterations before I fill my disk. I hope it happens before that. Is there any way to tell strace to mimic the return code of it's inferior process? -Rolf -- 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/
