Now you're getting it. >If this is the case, isn't this a bug in CW_GETPINFO_FULL? > >Won't it be better fixing this bug, than fixing 'Proc::ProcessTable' and 'ps >-W' and all the other programs that uses CW_GETPINFO_FULL? There is no reference implementation which would specify that the behavior which I noted was incorrect. "CW_GETPINFO_FULL" was implemented for "ps -W". I don't believe I've ever heard anyone complaining about the way this works in "ps -W" or in "all of the other programs" which use this. If you want to submit a patch which changes this behavior, I'll certainly review it promptly. I don't believe that it would be trivial to do, however. It seems to me that it would be a lot easier to work around in the perl module. cgf -- 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/
