The problem originally surfaced with all mounts set to binmode, we later switched some into textmode, but the problem persisted. Ron Cook said the problem does not exist under Windows ME on his HP. Maybe this is specific to windows 2000, or some sort of timing issue. Unfortunately, the computers I have access to all run at roughly the same speed, so I can't rule out that as the problem. -Rusty -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
