The output for 'sh.exe' is identical to 'bash.exe' with 'sh' substituted for 'bash'. > If you have 1.5.5 now that works for you, you can use that to bootstrap > your build and get a debug version of the current DLL to look at and > debug into.

I do not have a fully functional 1.5.5 installation; all I could find was a tarball that includes a few commands (ps, kill, regtool, dumper, mount/umount, setfacl/getfacl, passwd, mkpasswd, mkgroup, cygpath, and cygcheck). The combination of unavailability of old distributions, and unavailability of a debug version of the current DLL, is kind of a pisser. I've got another system on my desk (also XP SP2) with the latest Cygwin that works fine. That system has a clean OS install; the one with problems has been upgraded over several years by Windows Update. I can try to build a debug DLL on that system but had hoped for a quicker diagnosis. -- Dave -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
