[Fwd: Re: Xterm hangs with latest Cygwin (-62?)]
The only difference is the Cygwin version. -61 works, -62 hangs. Likewise.

Maybe they're sort of starting, but don't get connected to the xterm somehow? - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

Stracing shows that luit is called with `luit -argv0 -tcsh', but nowhere in the strace tcsh is actually started. Rather, it looks like luit starts /bin/sh with argv[0] set to -tcsh instead.
