I've tested http://sources.redhat.com/ml/newlib/2004/txt00003.txt on Cygwin, and it works. So, most probably, Cygwin uses the "fixed" newlib. However, since my example code (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-12/msg00305.html) still fails, something is still wrong. Is it possible the the "fix" above actually caused this problem? /Peter Åstrand -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
