Actually, you did the test I wanted: you proved that a different mirror giv= es the same results, which rules out bad packages on one rogue mirror. The= chance of two bad mirrors is exceedingly tiny, so we can assume the packag= es are fine, unless they=E2=80=99re corrupt on sourceware, which is also un= likely. >> I=E2=80=99ve also failed to reproduce your symptom under MinTTY >=20 > I cannot reproduce under mintty either. So why not run under mintty, then? Cygwin runs better under mintty in gene= ral. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
