I had this issue starting on the day that I upgraded from cygwin 1.5 to cygwin 1.7. I use a pager called "most" that is not part of the cygwin distribution. I recompiled "most" from latest tarballs using cygwin toolchain (make, gcc, and so forth). This fixed the problem for me. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
