I should have said "build the DLL". You have to build the cygwin DLL, turning on the thread saftey option which you'll see if you do a 'configure --help'. If you have no idea what I'm talking about then you either have some investigation on how to build GNU software ahead of you or you should wait for the thread-safe release. Incidentally, if the program is crashing you undoubtedly will find more information if you run it under gdb. -chris -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
