Also works fine on Linux with patch 2.5.8 (and diff 2.9 -- version 2.8.7 was never a stable release, I think). In any case, I figured out the fix: Use patch --binary. That switch is only available on Cygwin. Now it works fine. I'm still not quite sure why I have to do this. Anyhoo, it works. -David --=20 David Eisner http://cradle.brokenglass.com -- 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
