Thanks for the detailed debugging information. I will look into this. I should point out that I use zsh *all* of the time on Cygwin. It is essentially my "test" system for new versions of the DLL since it uses so much of the UNIX api -- especially with regard to signals. I don't have any problems running zsh but there were some signal fixes that went in after 1.1.0 was released. Could you try a recent Cygwin snapshot and let cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com know if it works any better? cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
