I think that the current consensus is that everyone is tired about excuses like "no inclination" or "no time" or "vacation" or "death in the family" or "newborn baby". Frankly, I think if there is an issue you should be fixing it. This issue has clearly been in the code for a long time and, although it probably doesn't work on MSYS2, that should be no excuse for not fixing it in Cygwin. cgf ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
