There doesn't appear to be any way to circumvent the long pause required for Windows to figure out network stuff. Corinna moved all of the network drive manipulation into a separate thread which is terminated on a CTRL-C but Windows still insists on waiting several seconds before the thread actually goes away. I just rewrote things slightly to see if not terminating the thread helped anything but it doesn't. The program takes several seconds to *exit* in that case. In short, this seems like something we'll have to live with. On my system at least, Corinna's change made things a couple of seconds faster than before so it shouldn't be as slow as the previous snapshot. cgf -- 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/
