From: emarshal@common.net ("Edward S.

I think I may have found the culprit: when I originally installed an older version of the tools, I installed a copy of cygwin.dll in %windir%\system32. This copy was being loaded whenever I attempted to run something; the reason _some_ of my software still worked was that I still had a copy of the cygwin.dll file in my H-i386-cygwin32/bin directory, which was being loaded when I ran bash. However, /bin/sh.exe was just a copy of bash.exe, and there wasn't a copy of the library available in that directory, so it loaded the version it found first: in the windows directory. Blecch. The moral: don't mix your libraries. :-) -- ..-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Edward S.
