Subject: Re: cygwin randomly pauses under Win2k

Chris J (Not to be confused with Chris F),

How about sending along the source code for your small program,
so I can give it a wiz-bang.  So far, running strace on my system
seems to make the problem I have go away, so if you can readily 
reproduce the behaviour, I would like to try it on my system.

Thanks.
