I ran the cygwin setup.exe to install inet_utils, and found that a good number of cygwin apps got upgraded without my asking it to. I then found every Cygwin app calling the error "main] ? 2988 shared_info::initialize: size of shared memory region >changed from 21008 to 47112" After some judicious Googling, I found the following message explaining the problem as running two different versions of Cygwin at the same time: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-01/msg00436.html My only question is, how do I remedy this? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall everything? Is there a quick & easy way to clean this up wtihout such a major overhaul? All I really wanted was a telnet client for cygwin.... btw, if anyone responds, please CC my email on the reply - I am not on the cygwin mailing list.
