Thank you for the concise bug report, along with a test case. This kind of bug report makes tracking down problems a joy (well, almost). I tried out your test case and got the same error on Windows NT as on UNIX. Then I remembered that a net user had supplied us with a patch for this a couple of months ago. So, it will be fixed in the next release. -chris -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
