Hi Rick,

I have the same symptoms. I mentioned them on

1.5.4-1: Problem with XEmacs, fonts, and subprocesses

thread. This and that thread is about the same issue.

I personally build XEmacs myself. I tried XEmacs
21.4.14, 21.5.14, 21.5.5. I compiled all under Cygwin
1.5.5 to no awail. 

I used Cywin 1.3.20 with XEmacs 21.5.5 for a good half
a year every day.

Here is my CYGWIN env 

CYGWIN = `notty notitle glob'

What is yours?

Triza
