Thanks cgf for your hard work, and for putting up with all >these mailing list complaints. You beat me to the punch. I was going to mention that I thought I'd fixed this in the latest snapshot but I was running a long build on Win98 before I announced success. It was a very tricky problem to fix. Basically, cygwin has been broken wrt signal handling for a few functions for a couple of years. Fixing that uncovered a Windows 98 oddity which had gone undetected for years. cgf -- 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/
