Or an even worse scenario: Do you (well, your machine) > have some bad virus? So far, I have no other idea :-( ${windir}/system32/drivers/null.sys does not seem to be present in WinFLP. I'm running a fresh install of the OS, sitting behind a firewall, so the chances of Windows corruption or viruses seems low. I can only assume that the lack of null.sys is the way Microsoft intends it... ?!? Is there an alternative way that cygwin could implement /dev/null in this situation ??
