It sounds very serious. I am a very interested user of git on Cygwin and I'm watching this thread with interest.

It would be really helpful (to me at least) to know whether you can reproduce the issue with 32-bit Windows... I imagine there are a fair number of people using git in Cygwin because the Windows alternatives (msys, etc) do not provide a POSIX-like toolchain environment. Using Cygwin also allows scripts around git to operate on Linux with no modifications. That is why we use Cygwin anyway, and Cygwin + git is very important to us, FWIW. -- David. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
