Both examples behave under cmd, or cmd/bash with CYGWIN=notty set, or if they're compiled without the mingw flag. Any clues gratefully accepted. cheers mark -- 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/
