They are bad enough to make B20 completely unusable, at least for us. I have seen most of the reported problems. "configure" scripts are hit particularly hard; they tend to wedge, and when they finish, they tend to leave everything in config.h undefined. This happens both with bash and with ash as /bin/sh.exe. Also, I can lock up my entire box just trying to use a pipe; "ls -l | head" often does it. lro> Or just configuration problems ? I am using Windows 98 with all of Microsoft's "recommended" updates. People have reported the same issues running various versions of NT (especially SP4). lro> Is a patch (or a new release) planed ? Good question. lro> I haven't seen anything from Geoffrey Noer. Is there an lro> "official cygnus point of view" about this ?
