It is bad enough that this failure occurs; what is worse is you MUST REBOOT the machine in order to correct it. I have my own couple of 100k lines of code to manage so I haven't looked at cygwin. What is it doing at the system level to corrupt the environment. I do not notice any other windows program having problems but restarting cygwin does not clear the problem....stuck dll? something is still consuming resources. I have not spent much time trying to diagnose the problem because I need to get my work done so rebooting is faster. Can someone explain the past "make/fork" problem that was supposedly fixed? > I'm using WinNT and Win2k is it's replacement.
