Hello

The latest discussion about parallel instances are dated back to april 2008, discussing parallel instances of 1.5 and 1.7, not
multiple instances of 1.7

I noticed when having parallel instances of 1.7 the first startet instances sets the base in /etc/fstab. All further startups (bash)
of different cygwin installations use the first installation as their base.

Is it possible to have parallel instances of 1.7 ?
How much do the cygwin1.dll have to different (will version 1.7.0-40 be different to version 1.7.0-41) ?
Is it possible to change something in the DLL, etc.,  to make instances be different ?

Regards
Pascal
