This happens on b17.0 and 17.1, under Win95. The hang is 'hard', i.e. I can't move the mouse and Ctrl/Alt/Del does nothing. (I know NT 4.0 would probably solve this but it is rather large for my 20 MB RAM laptop and its power management is not so hot.) I am not suggesting this is necessarily a Cygwin.dll or bash bug but I would like to know if anyone else has seen this. It could be a problem with my Win95 setup, so any private email with ideas on this would also be welcome. By the way - Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to everyone on the list, and thanks again to the Cygnus guys who have been working on Gnu-Win32!
