Does anybody have seen similar and/or have a fix for it? The "machine" it runs on is normally equipped with 96 MB, and raising it to 192 MB did not solve the problem. -Jan Engelhardt -- 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/
