What stood out to me is what's quoted above. This kind of smells like the "cygwin bash crashes on Win Serv 2008" thread from last October. That ended up with the realization that installing Terminal Service changes the system-wide DEP (Data Execution Protection) flag for the worse, as far as Cygwin is concerned. Could you please read one of the later emails on that thread: and see if the situation applies to your systems and whether the workaround works for you? I know the thread talks about Windows Server 2008 and you're running WS2K3, but maybe it applies there too. ..mark -- 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/
