If - it doesn't happen to anyone else and - you don't tell anyone about it then - how do you expect it to lead to Cygwin falling off the secondary platform list? > I have several multi-year PRs posted, so that isn't a short term solution. I checked BZ(*). ISTM that with the exception of some fairly specialised problems in fortran vectorisation, every other PR you filed has been resolved. Your implicit assumption here that because some PRs have not been resolved quickly, therefore all PRs will not be resolved quickly is transparently not the case, so there's really no need to go cutting off your nose to spite your face: if you have a reproducible problem, the odds are (based on past history) that it will be worth reporting. I don't know why you have all this trouble and others don't. I think I may vaguely remember asking you once before if it had always been on the same computer and you saying not so it can't be a hardware problem, but it's really hard to imagine anything wrong that you could be doing in your procedure that would have these kinds of effects. What's the electricity supply quality like where you live? I'm starting to get to the point of having considered everything possible and wondering about the impossible things. Do you live next to a nuclear reactor or in the beam of a particle accelerator by any chance? Are you orbiting in an unshielded spacecraft? Have you painted your house using a tin of old radium-based glow-in-the-dark paint you found in the attic? Finally, is your PC perhaps built on top of an old indian burial ground, and/or have you disturbed any crypts, pyramids, or other tombs and/or been placed under any ancient curses that you are aware of? cheers, DaveK -- (*) - http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&known_to_fail_type=allwordssubstr&known_to_work_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&gcchost_type=allwordssubstr&gcchost=&gcctarget_type=allwordssubstr&gcctarget=&gccbuild_type=allwordssubstr&gccbuild=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&emailassigned_to1=1&emailreporter1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=tprince&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=
