I will only mention that while I am unable to recover from this same problem (rebase/reinstalling/different versions has no effect), installing cygwin and the latest stable packages does not reproduce this problem on other machines. -Justin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
