Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, Since a couple of hours cygwin crashes all the time on my windows nt computer. In order to restart cygwin I have to execute the xserver batch file several times until finally an xterm shows up. The same xterm than crashes after only a couple of commands - for example 10 executions of 'ls'. I updated cygwin and also tried to reboot my computer, but the problem remains... I had a somehow similar problem a couple of months ago when I tried to copy files recursively or used the find command. Also since a couple of months emacs crashes on a regular basis complaining not to be able to connect to the xserver. But never the problem has been as bad as now. I am unable to use cygwin at all - and as cygwin for me is the only comfortable way to use windows I am unable to do anything at all :( ( Here comes a very big "Thank you" to those guys developing cygwin - cygwin is the only thing I really like about Windows :) Could it be that the crashes are related to a mapped windows drive I am linking to from my home directory? I am sure I am not the first person asking this question and I know about the naiveness and clumsiness of this mail. Still, I don't have any idea how to deal with this problem and couldn't find any way out of this situation by myself.
