I haven't had a chance to try the 20050925 snapshot to see if >it improves matters.

The only strace-related thing I've done recently is add some additional info to a debug message. I doubt that most people would notice the change. Corinna reports that 20050925 works better than 20050923 on Windows 98 so I'm hopeful that I've squashed this bug without resorting to the overly enthusiastic technique which resulted in various hangs for the last week+. 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/
