obviously I know your patch since I tested it already (and even accidentally checked in parts of it into the 64bit branch), so I know it works. However, your patch submission is broken due to wrong line-breaks. Can you please resend the patch, if you don't trust your MUA, maybe better as text/plain attachment? Oh and, btw., in the Cygwin ChangeLogs we tend to use up to 80 chars per line. That's not a big problem, I just want you to know for future patch submissions. Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
