I'm afraid you may have misremembered, or anyway, I don't recall the occasion you're talking about.

That doesn't mean that we mightn't be able to find a critical hotspot by some profiling and figure a way round it OTOH. cheers, DaveK -- 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/
