Perhaps SkyDrive has some feature that makes Cygwin crazy. For example, your cygwin could have inotify listeners on ${HOME} which could be somehow accidentally triggering SkyDrive's "refresh the pretty icons" mechanism which could be tickling the inotify listeners which could be somehow accidentally triggering SkyDrive's "refresh the pretty icons" mechanism which could be tickling the inotify listeners which could be somehow accidentally triggering SkyDrive's "refresh the pretty icons" mechanism which could be tickling the inotify listeners which could be somehow accidentally triggering SkyDrive's "refresh the pretty icons" mechanism which could be tickling the inotify listeners... -gmt -- 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
