FYI: I actually *had* hostnames like var, tmp and so on at one time... :-) Cygwin maps UNIX/POSIX behavior on top of NT, but NT was designed to be compatible with DOS's *broken* conventions, so NT is half-broken. Any kind of parsing for mounts like you suggest would probably incur a

Lapo, I don't have a reference to std iostreams handy, but having seen errors like this many times before, I can tell you what's up. Even though it looks like there is an error in a system/standard header, it is actually an indication of where the compiler ended up after parsing/preprocessing

Hi, Reading from 2 (standard error) is a little iffy, but back in days of yore, when Unix was either BSD or version 7, it was quite common. The standard behaviour was to open fd 0 (input) with mode 0 (read), fd 1 (output) with mode 1 (write) and fd 2 (error) with mode 2 (readwrite). The logic
