We're on the same page then. :-) Indeed we are :) > it's hard to say there's going to be a good solution coming from Cygwin itself soon, unless there's some developer that wants to chase this in the near-term. I certainly hope so. At least, to peek and determine if it's something big or not. Console size to me sounds like some kind of buffer overflow, not some intrinsically non-POSIX thing that MS console does. This might even turn into a security issue if so. Hey, I have to get this to be a high priority ;) > I'm pretty sure that no-one actually meant to imply that you're an "ignorant quack". Just "misunderstanding quack" then? :) > this issue is likely to be viewed as relatively low priority, given the specifics of the issue and the alternatives. Unfortunately agree with you on this, too... > So I hope you find this feedback to be helpful in answering some of your inquiries. It was helpful. Thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate that! I'll go have a few more Cygwin crashes now ;) And hope endlessly till some brave soul finds this thread :'( I'm off to other things, cheers! -- 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
