Reply-To: mlx AT san DOT rr DOT com

Hi all,

I've been noticing for some time now that mounts seem
to be spontaneously unmounting themselves.  There doesn't
seem to be any rhyme or reason to when this event occurs.
Maybe after rebooting, maybe not, etc.  I've noticed this
ever since updating to b20.1 last January.  It happens on
NT v4.0 sp3&sp4 and win95 boxes as well.  Both I and several
friends who use this release have all independently noticed
this behavior.  I guess under cygwin, this is akin to a
registry entry spontaneously disappearing.

Once again, this is the last "production" release.  I never
mess with snapshots unless I'm experiencing serious problems
or there is a new feature that I desire.  I had some seriously
frustrating experiences in trying to build later snapshots with
"_ctype" errors cropping up all over the place so I've canned
updating (till I get a free weekend == NEVER) for "now".
That's another thing with me & OpenSource snapshots, if I can't
at least build it, I sure as hell ain't gonna rely on it in a
production type environment.

That's a pre-emptive answer to the old knee-jerk ->

"don't question why - just upgrade to the latest snapshot"

camp.

Anyway, has anyone else been experiencing this problem and
"just living with it" like us or is there some feasible explanation
for why this is occuring ?


Thanks in advance,

Steve B.
