Ok, this is really odd... I just noticed that every now and then, when I run a cygwin program with the new DLL, it actually does work. Maybe 10% of the time when I invoke a shell, I actually get a working shell, which then appears to be fully functional: all its children behave normally. Also, once I have a working shell running, I can also open new shells from the desktop and they work 100% of the time. -- Dave -- 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/
