Here are some more data points: 1. I have access to four computers with Cygwin installations, and I can reproduce the problem on all four (including the fact that the problem occurs with the 9-17 snapshot but not the 9-12 snapshot). The computers all have similar setups and all run XP SP3, so this may not mean much. 2. To rule out the most common form of BLODA, I uninstalled the anti-virus software on one of the computers. This made no difference. 3. All four systems have two parallel Cygwin installations. I removed the second installation on one of them. This made no difference. I realize that you can't debug this if you can't reproduce it. Is there anything I can try? I don't have much programming/debugging experience, but I'm pretty good at following directions.
