Hi.
Well, maybe there's a better word than "improve." Maybe "streamline"
would be better. Anyhow, here it is.
Allow users to create a list of paths to GUI apps they have on their
systems -- other than the selected Windows defaults -- and using either
aliases (like "monkey" for SeaMonkey 2.0
Or does such an idea go too much against the grain of "let's keep Cygwin
as much of a Unix as possible?"
At the very least, it would cut through all the rigamorole of "kill"-ing
pids that were likely to return errors.
Comments?

Hope folks can answer these, if not right away then eventually.
Good times.

Dave, all:
I'm just wondering why bash, or any shell, in Cygwin, or any environment
where it was able to run, would bother creating stack-dump files with
headers but no data. I haven't got the knowledge to parse and peruse the
cygcheck.out file I created, but I did take a close look at my conf

I see this was mentioned previously but didn't see a resolution.
For me it is definitely happening in emacs (which since I spend most of
my time in it, is maybe not that surprising), and is possibly related to
running make via 'M-x compile'.
