Why does this happen? I don't think anyone is sure. My wild guess is that there's something about the way that Cygwin wraps Windows calls that makes it fail in this case. It might be interesting to run the Windows and Cygwin versions under an strace equivalent and see where things differ. It's an interesting problem, but I don't have any Windows systems, so I can't look into it. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
