I found some old notes in the archive: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2002-08/msg00050.html It's a WAG for sure, but considering how most new AV software hooks into every single running application and checks it for suspicious actions, it's a good one. If you can't tell Norton to ignore everything under your cygwon root, you can try uninstalling it. -- 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/
