Nonetheless, it is almost bound to be the problem. It's not just the realtime scanning: any of the buffer overflow protection, antispyware, privacy, or other behaviour blocking features can cause the same problem. Also, it's very hard to be sure that you've really excluded the source of the problem even if you've told it to exclude cygwin stuff, as the AV may still have hook functions installed all over the place which can mess things up by their mere presence. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
