Your WAG was totally right. I had some Acrobat plugin called PDFmerge that had an old copy of cygwin1.dll in a 'hidden' folder that didn't turn up on previous searches for 'cygwin'. Deleted it, re-installed and everything's working great now. Thanks SO much, i'm so happy to be able to use Cygwin now. Sorry it was such a half-baked problem. -- 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/
