If I double-click it again it comes up and stays and I can do stuff with it.  Like whois which is all I ever do with it.

that's because I was using other stuff.  Just no longer.  Moved on to other things and just let it all be.

And I can do ctrl-D which is what I want to do after whois.  Namely I want to logout.  This is the ONLY application I have installed in Windows 2000 that does this.  The ONLY one.

Neither could I before this issue started.  In fact I never tried to get this behavior.  Just started happening
right out of the blue  I double-click it poof.  I double click it again fine.  Sometimes the console stops accepting
input.  Sometimes not.

cygwin.bat:
_______________
@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
Set INCLUDE=C:\cygwin\lib\gcc-lib\i686-pc-mingw32\3.3.1\include;
Set CYGWIN=tty notitle glob
bash --login -i

Everything I am sending you is exactly as it is\was before this issue started.  I think
maybe you can see why I asked if there was a shelf-life.  For that's all I can think of at this point.

I mean I did update my Java Plug-in.  I may have added stuff to my classpath.  I put in a VRML plugin.  I changed my php directory from C:\PHP to C:\PHP4 and am using some extensions now.  In fact I've done lot's
of stuff but I know I didn't touch anything in C:\cygwin.
