Today I had a lull in work so I was able to close all my apps and reboot my PC - an event I often have to plan days in advance for I'm afraid. Upon resurrection, I now note that this problem seems to no longer occur. I can open multiple 1.5 and 1.7 mintty sessions without any apparent problems. I'm still not able to launch 1.7's apache2 however - but that's the subject of another email.
