And you can also add another recent link: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-03/msg00946.html to your list ;-( Just to remind that I also have this problem, my system beeing a proffessional XP box (upgraded from Me). And that i have noticed that this have repercutions on some native programs which are not able (then) to work correctly. Now, thanks to you Mike, I know that this seems linked to a limitation with PID numbers. Regarding Corina's remark, I speak for myself but I am quite certain others will agree: I'd be pleased to know what is terribly wrong with my system. May be our PID numbers consumption is going very fast because we have some "resident" programs like anti-viruses, firewalls, etc. But the problem still remains: there is a limit that stop us from using cygwin to accomplish more or less critical things like recompiling some programs.
