Me too. Eric Blake writes: > Text mounts should only be used on directories where TEXT files (not > binaries) are intended to be shared between native and cygwin tools. For me, that is in *all* directories except maybe the ones that Cygwin creates for its own use. I don't use Cygwin in isolation. If I wanted that, I could just install Linux. I appreciate that other people work differently and have other preferences, of course. Just my 2 cents, benny
