What I said was no one has downloaded the code to try to reproduce the problem on your end, where presumably you have familiarity with the code which is causing the trouble and have working debugger symbols. I realize this is a lot of work, and I certainly don't expect anyone to jump to help, which is why I'm putting time in on my end as well and do what I can. But it is nice to be met halfway, especially when there are indications that there is a problem on your end, and resolving this issue will probably benefit cygwin's stability more than me. Don't twist my words to imply I don't appreciate the positive feedback which I have received, and *do* appreciate. Particularly Corinna as she at least glanced through some cygwin code to look for a cause, while significantly more attention has been directed at the simple post script that plain-text-only is a bit behind the times. It's OK, I understand it's certainly more fun to flame the new guy than look for bugs, I know. ;) So to Corinna's end, I'd love to provide a simpler test case, but I can't isolate the cause without knowing the origin of the hang, which I can't determine without the debugger symbols, which still aren't working properly, so perhaps we can get back on topic with that. -ethan PS the pointless email format zealotry thread has been moved to cygwin-talk, for reference.
