I went and got WinXP today, installed the latest Cygwin and this problem is gone. I presume that Win2K doesn't have this problem either, but I'm happier now that I can debug in XP. -tim On Sunday, January 13, 2002, at 12:44 PM, Christopher Faylor wrote: > On Sun, Jan 13, 2002 at 12:41

Tim, If you're debugging a program written in a native language such as C or C++ (as opposed to a interpreted, protected language such as Java), then an "OS" without a strong memory protection model is hardly an advisable environment in which to do so. Your life will be full of pain if you try
