Re: bash lockup
I see this all the time, too (in Win98se). WINOLDAP seems to be how Windows handles the cygwin console. It also uses it for win95cmd. And it is there even when nothing is locked up. Windows doesn't seem to use WINOLDAP for a COMAND.COM DOS box. Don't think of it as a problem or bug (or even a feature); think of it as a behavior. It's not that hard to live with. - Barry At 01:41 AM 2/1/2003, Sean McBride wrote: I thank all of you who comented on my last post. I have another small problem.

RE: bash lockup
Yes, this is true, however, I am not having the problem, anymore. I traced the crash to an old version of cvs I was using in windows. Apparently, it installed the cygwin1.dll(an older version, god knows what build) in its directory and added its dir to my path. Once I deleted that dll, I no longer recieve a crash. CYGWIN works great now! no problems that I can see now. I'm going to travel around with a CD and go nuts and install it on every machine I see. I'll be a walking file installation virus. Thanks!
