I meant to reply to this earlier today, but lines between day/night and work/not have been too blurry lately. I tried a clean install of 32-bit Cygwin, but that didn't fix anything. So then on a lark, I rebooted the computer (turned it off actually, which I have not done in weeks), and magically, the problem went away. Maybe Windows 10 had its knickers in a twist or something, but everything else seemed to run just fine, except Cygwin. I have tried 64-bit Cygwin in the past. I do a lot of file I/O and sorting/searching on largish test-based data sets, and 64-bit was noticeably slower than 32-bit Cygwin, so I have not been gung-ho to switch. Maybe now that it's more mature, I should give it another shot. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreis...@alum.mit.edu>, http://www.ad1c.us -- 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
