Thanks for testing! > $ uname -a > CYGWIN_NT-5.1 WITD-ORL-IBOBY1 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin I see the following differences: - You have 1.7.9 while I have 1.7.8 and 1.7.7. - You have XP while I have 64 bit Windows 7. As I don't see any mention of such bug being fixed in 1.7.9 change log I suppose the really important difference is between the OS versions and/or 32 vs 64 bits. I'll try to install Cygwin into XP and 32 bit Windows 7 to check this too if nobody else posts the test results for these platforms until tomorrow.
