Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 18:48:58 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-OriginalArrivalTime: 25 Jun 2001 22:49:19.0840 (UTC) FILETIME=[11FCAE00:01C0FDC9] BTW, since I haven't received even a single reply (curt or otherwise) to the post referenced at the bottom of this email, this might qualify as one of those "non-answers" being discussed in the Blunt Tools thread... I have checked the FAQ, the Users Guide, google, the archives -- but I can't find a reference to this. In the simplest case I have found, /bin/ls -lF / causes my taskbar to flash. My root dir contains a number of symlinks of the form: d -> /=/d where /= is my cygdrive prefix. Can anyone explain this or duplicate it? Other more-complicated cases cause even worse flashing. I just reloaded cygwin from scratch yesterday -- I didn't have this problem with my prior version (circa 12/13/00).
