Fine. There's has been made a change in Cygwin which tries the following on init: - Get the stdin, stdout and stderr handles from the system. - If stdout handle == stderr handle then try to separate them into two _different_ handles. This is important to allow separate redirection of stdout and stderr. - If this failes (The Win32 system call `DuplicateHandle') the above system error output is forced. The problem is that the W2K telnet server doesn't allow duplicating the handle for some strange reason which only Microsoft knows of. Try using telnet from the inetutils package.

I too have just run into this.
I have a new windows 2000 system, nothing installed on it
but the os. I installed cygwin 1.1.6 from the web site
installer. When invoked via telnet, bash quits with the
same "couldn't make stderr distinct from stdout" message.
My other windows2000 box with the same setup but cygwin1.dll
of ts=1998/12/3 23:39 works well with the telnet server.
The output of the cygcheck for this machine is below.

I think the problem is in cygwin1.dll, which is printing out that message in stdio_init() in source file "winsup\cygwin\dtable.cc". It's calling DuplicateHandle() which apparently fails, and somehow the error causes everything to exit. I couldnt find a corresponding function in the source for cygwin 1.0. I backed out to the cygwin 1.0 version of cygwin1.dll and the message went away. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know why 1.0 stuff and 1.1.x stuff would cause problems unless there are two cygwin DLLs on the system. If you can't run 1.0 binaries under 1.1.x then that's a very serious bug. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
