If there are users running Cygwin on lots of machines, they are likely to run into problems once in a while, and they're likely to use the list for reporting these problems. If Cygwin was as instable as you apparently suspect, you'd find plenty of reports in the archives. I haven't noticed any such large-scale reports about instabilities in several years of lurking on this list, but your thorough perusal of the archives may well prove me wrong. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 -- 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
