Nope, this is a problem we're taking quite seriously. Unfortunately it's a *very* hard problem to isolate and fix. From what I currently think is going on, we have to figure out how to change Cygwin so that we don't expose bugs in the Windows 95 kernel. *sigh* Installing the USB patch does seem to help a lot as does upgrading to Windows 98 or (better yet) Windows NT. That's the best advice I can give for now... -- Geoffrey Noer noer AT cygnus DOT com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
