I may be clueless, but I'm not stupid. I would never question King Faylor's ability to find and fix, or work around a memory leak (and I even respect his decision not to) but I would certainly question yours .... As for the venom being spewed on this thread, all I want to say is that I spent hundreds of hours cobbling together work-arounds so I could get an open source automated infrastructure working in a large organization. Cygwin is just one piece of the puzzle - but it is a critical indispensible piece. I consider my time just as ( if not more ) valuable than anyone else's participating here. These "disputed" memory leaks were for me the biggest obsticle preventing me from achieving my ultimate objective - which saved my company hundreds of thousands of dollars they otherwise would have had to spend to acquire the solution from third party vendors. It would have been "nice" if there was an acknowledgement of this problem (cygwin's or not) rather than attempted character assassinations. But the value that Cygwin delivers for me and my organization is so valuable and irreplacible that *putting up* with the *meanness* here is small price to pay to get the answers I frequently need.

My going rate is $200/hour. If that is satisfactory with you we can talk. If not, you have the source, the compiler, the debugger, find it yourself or find someone who will at a lower rate than mine.
