Try the latest snapshot. Your program looks fine, though you should do all your argv processing before calling cygwin_dll_init(), because it will trash your argv and argc. If you look at the cygload utility (in cygwin CVS), it shows how to add a new entry point to your program that will put the 4K closer to the bottom of the stack. -- 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/
