Hi-

 For about a month I have been running cygwin on Release candidate 1 from MSDN professional subscriptions,
 cygwin works  for me so far but I only use the shell, shell scripts, awk and sed on a
regular basis (gcc and g77 are okay as far as I have used
them) and the cygwin installer happly updated my windows XP cygwin carry over from 2000.

However according to the web page:
The Cygwin environment works under all modern versions of Windows except Windows CE and (currently) Windows XP, although we will
probably fix this when XP is released commercially.

I searched the mailing list but found nothing on failures associated with XP. Could some one point out the danger areas?

Plz reply to me directly as I am not on the list.

thanx
