Hi Earnie!

And still the solution is as far as week ago. I took the very last
cygwin1.dll - from 02-Dec-99,
I removed all dlls from path, and no difference. The only thing maybe will
give a clue:
every b20-compiled program complains now:

0       0 [main] C:\-\-\a.exe 1000 hinfo_init: couldn't make stderr distinct
from stdout

I don't know, how to contact actual developers, but if you know, tell them
that
the bug not WAS, it IS. I have to thank you for your patience and help, but
I want to know -
is that particular bug is only on my machine or not? If it's not mine, how
ever you could not
notice that bug? It's everyday tools, - gzip, merge, echo, diff ...

Sincerely,
Dmitry
