Hi,

I have a problem, I have used cygwin to port a Matlab mex file for
reading XML files from Linux to Windows XP. A mex file is a renamed
dll file in Windows.

The fist time I load the mex file in matlab after a reboot it runs
perfectly. If I exit Matlab and restart if a second time it still runs
fine. After the third restart it crashes matlab every time I run it. I
have tried to strip the file to nothing to make sure there aren't any
bugs in the file that causes the problems. Sometimes after I rebuild
the file (without changing anything in the functional structure of the
file) I can run it again. 

I have seen similar problems posted by other people but no replies.
The problem seems to originate from loading and unloading of the
cygwin1 dll. 

Please help me,
//Anders
