Try a couple of times. ----------- a) If running via mintty - it hangs fairly quickly, and the task- manager will show hanging gcc's and sh's. b) If running in normal terminal via "bash --login" shortcut, everything is ok. Ran 100s of times with no error. ----------- It seems to be related to the fact the is is spawning non-cygwin programs. If i do the same test with normal GCC (default cygwin gcc) then everything is fine. My guess would be that this is related to the pseudo-console changes. I think it relates to an terminal I/O problem when the tasks are starting/stopping. Thanks, /pedro
