OK, that you guys can't reproduce suggests that there is something special about my cygwin installation.=20=20 What is special, I suspect, is that I have not actually recreated it in many years: I just update it, and copy the whole thing from machine to machine. = (I described this in the attachment to my original email.) That has worked we= ll for a long time -- it is much easier and more consistent than running setup.exe on many machines. But I suspect it has broken down. Somehow, I = may have old libs or old config files mixed with new. (This last update, from = 1.7 to 2.3, is clearly a big one.) So, I will re-install cygwin from scratch on one machine, this weekend. In the meantime, put this bug report on hold. Thanks to all of you. I will let the list know how this comes out. --- Karl Botts, kdbotts@usa.net -- 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
