He also deleted my response to the guy who suggested that Windows does copy-on-write so we could modify NTDLL. And, now I can't seem to respond at all. Sure. We could just figure out where to modify NTDLL in all of the versions of NTDLL that have ever existed and then stand on our heads to modify the memory in place every time a Cygwin process is started. And, as Corinna says, this all flys in the face of Cygwin's philosophy. Meh. cgf
