Just to make it clear, when I say "sends me a system", I mean "donates a system". I'm not interested in loaner programs where I have to eventually box up the system and drive it to a UPS store or something. I'm willing to devote a substantial amount of time to tracking the problem down but I'm not willing to devote any more manual labor to the problem than unpacking a box and trying to shoehorn a system into my cramped and overheated office. If this seems excessively mean, then you might think about it from the point of view of already receiving the benefit of substantial cygwin functionality which represents massive amounts of my time and Corinna's time and Pierre's time. I can understand how this would be a potentially scary proposition since there is no contractual arrangement which would force me to fix this problem but, on the flip side, I don't necessarily want to be dealing with IT or purchasing departments asking me for specific "When will you be fixing the problem/returning the system" when I'm not being compensated to do so, either. If the system is provided, I WILL spend time tracking down this problem. Once fixed, I will use it to run tests prior to every release to ensure that things work correctly -- as far as the test suite is concerned, at least. If I can come up with a simple test case which tickles the problem, I'll add that to the test suite, too. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
