Hmmm...True...But the strange thing is that it has been working for quite a while and suddenly it stopped working.
I have probably changed something in my environment to cause this but I can't figure out what that something is. Hmmm...Now that I think about it I have actually upgraded Cygwin itself to a newer version quite recently. Maybe something happened there. Thanks for the pointer. :-D Another thank you to all list members who provide me with thorough solutions to problems I haven't even encountered yet. The VIM mailing list is the one I learn the most from and I enjoy reading through each and every email.
