But it seems to me that the big variable factor here is the VM. But leaving that aside for the moment, perhaps you have a a corrupted '/bin/[.exe'. Yes, it's just a WAG that really shouldn't be an issue but given your unique environment, maybe it's worth checking. Otherwise, my guess is you're going to need to dig in and debug this some. I'd recommend trying a failing operation with strace and see if the results give you any insight. Be warned. This means you may need to look at Cygwin source to follow what's happening. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
