Hi there again,
you just need to type mode.com and confirm it with return and cygwin bash
will
crash with throwing an exception.
Not good.
Perhaps I need to tweak some settings?

I type "mode.com" and it gives me lots of info my com, printer, and console.
There is no confirming with return necessary.

I can't imagine what they would be. Please send cygcheck -r -s -v output
to this mailing list and maybe someone will be able to figure out what's
wrong.

Chris and Andreas,
I just tried this on my win98 laptop. I got a system popup box saying
something about an illegal operation. It doesn't look like what I'm used
to seeing when an app segfaults in winNT, but for all I know this may be a
standard window for segfaults in win9x.
I dismissed the window, and my "BASH" app didn't actually die. It's still
in the task bar, and there's a dead window on the screen that won't redraw
itself or go away.
Double-clicking on the Cygwin icon on my desktop does *not* bring up a new
bash window so that I can try this again or give you cygcheck output.
...OK, I just killed WinOldApp in the "task manager", and now things seem
normal again. Let's see...strange, when I try to reproduce this by typing
mode.com in a new bash window, I get what looks like the expected output.
The first time I tried this, I had just run a fresh instance of bash while
no other cygwin apps had been running (cygwin1.dll wasn't already loaded).
Anyway, cygcyeck output is attached.

Chris,
Bloody hell...!!
I tried to copy a "fresh" MODE.COM from my original CD CABs and what
happened?
Now it works, just as you said.
(Well I tried to type mode.com in my DOS box in Win95 and it crashed the
same way!)
So I apologize for having blamed cygwin without a right, ;)
;))
