If you do then maybe I can try and push to get this fixed for the next service pack release for both XP and Vista as well as Server 2008. This will especially be the case if it can be easily reproduced. A source and binary version will be useful for this. I am in the tech beta group for Vista SP1, XP SP3, and Server 2008 so I can at least remind them of this bug and show them a test case. No guarantees that it will be fixed. - -- Robert Pendell -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHZA73s1pR2j1qW+sRAqgIAJ44S32pjI8k2EzVNQeqV29uRarLigCghExr L4nnayAMFPFWrrCOQlUpnfs= =iltL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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/
