The only thing maybe will give a clue: every b20-compiled program complains now: 0 0 [main] C:\-\-\a.exe 1000 hinfo_init: couldn't make stderr distinct from stdout I don't know, how to contact actual developers, but if you know, tell them that the bug not WAS, it IS. I have to thank you for your patience and help, but I want to know - is that particular bug is only on my machine or not? If it's not mine, how ever you could not notice that bug? It's everyday tools, - gzip, merge, echo, diff ... Sincerely, Dmitry
