Imagine if a program like 'cp' failed because the current working directory has a pathname that contains spaces. You'd probably agree with me that 'cp' had a rather serious flaw, wouldn't you? I stand by my original report. This is a bug. Not a serious show-stopper by any stretch, but a bug, nonetheless. When I find the time and motivation, I may try my hand at fixing it myself. I'll report back with patches if I do. -SM -- -- 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
