Yes, indeed I have posted this question several times for French Win98, and
I think German version was reported also.  So it seems that all "non
english" versions of Win98 have this problem (otherwise, if for someone this
works, let us know).

Still no reponse!!!

I do know that CygWin developpers are not paid for developping it, neither
for technical support via this ML, but I wonder if such a "global" problem
don't interest/bother them, and if they realy don't have an idea what is
going wrong in their code.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
                        Sergei.


P.S. Thanks for the information about "8, 4, 6 and 2", Anders. I haven't
noticed that.
