So I believe it found something to open, likely the expected /etc directory. And according to me, it means that during init_cygheap, the mount table is half available. If someone knowledgeable want to dig that way, I am ready to try further tests. BTW, the interest (for me) in removing this error is that it hangs the ediff function of emacs (at least) because there is an error. -- Michel D'HOOGE -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
