Apparently, the executed command is C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; /usr/bin/start= xwin" The file C:\cygwin64\run.exe.stackdump is produced. Instead I expect, howev= er, an X server process and an xterm window. On the other hand, starting first "Cygwin64 terminal" does create a text co= nsole shell, and running=20 startxwin & from this shell does give me an X server process and an xterm window. A complete removal of the C:\cygwin64 directory and reinstalling did not he= lp. Afterwards, reinstalling xinit did not help. This issue persists for a few months already. Last year, XWin started witho= ut problems. Any help? (I tried to add attachments, but somehow the e-mails do not appear on the c= ygwin mailing list site.)
