The solution is to replace your Cygwin DLL with one from a recent snapshot: $ wget -nd ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/snapshots/cygwin1-20010411.dll.bz2 $ bunzip2 cygwin1-20010411.dll.bz2 $ # shutdown all Cygwin processes $ # using cmd or Windows Explorer rename cygwin1-20010411.dll to cygwin1.dll $ # using cmd or Windows Explorer move (new) cygwin1.dll to Cygwin's bin Jason -- Jason Tishler Director, Software Engineering Phone: +1 (732) 264-8770 x235 Dot Hill Systems Corp.
