So what is "Win32 error 6" http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681382(VS.85).aspx ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE > which says there are problems with your registry if you get this. No, it's what you'd expect if you try and dup a handle that's already been closed - an indication that the child exited prematurely. This is one of those semi-generic fork failures that could be BLODA, but another possibility is that because this is a non-cygwin app being launched from cygwin, it might be pulling in a dll that causes a rebase conflict. Following the rebaseall procedure described in the "Usage:" section of /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rebase-2.4.3.README might help as is, or it might be necessary to find a list of the dlls being pulled in by the borland compiler and rebase them too by adding a -T option pointing to a file that lists the (cygwin-style posix) paths to the BC45 dlls. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
