And, now, on rereading the thread, I can see that I was confused. Simpson started a discussion in your thread without any reference to anything that had gone before and confused my feeble mind into thinking that it was a new topic. However, again, and for the final time, the fact that he had a similar symptom does not mean that your issues are related. Nevertheless, I apologize for my confusion here. 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/
