Then the following catastrophe happened: 1- I opened a BASH-RXVT window and seemed OK. 2- I opened a BASH-CMD window and looked OK. 3- I opened a cygwin program of mine that uses a CMD window, instead of appearing the expected window, hundreds of copies of the 2 previously opened windows appeared. There was no way of stopping the process. At the end a screen appeared that alerted that WINDOWS was stopped because critical system data was corrupted. After that there was no way of booting again the machine, even with the recovery disc. It seems that I will have to reformat the HDD. I urge you to immediately remove the cygwin1-2005114 snapshot. bye, R.M. Note: In a W-98 box cygwin1-20051114.dll looked OK. -- 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/
