It must be a cygwin-xfree problem. I have no problems I can see in a cygwin console window, only in an xterm (or rxvt) window running under XWin -unixkill -emulate3buttons -clipboard -multiwindow -silent-dup-error & Lester +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= I cannot determine why, but with the new Cygwin base I just installed, a utility I have used for quite a few years, dired [http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/software/file-tools.html#dired], now freezes my window. A `top` shows that CPU usage quickly climbs to maximum values. I have to guess that other utilities will have similar problems. Thanks.
