I now suspect hardware problems: specifically, a faulty hard drive. There have been various odd problems unrelated to Cygwin.

Very noisy hard drive (it's driving me even battier than I normally am!). luke -- 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/
