Thanks for your hints. I tried out a similar strategy. I uninstalled the Fritz software and installed agnitum firewall, now Cygwin/X is running fine. In parallel i contacted AVM (the vendor of Fritz software) and informed them of the malfunction. Perhaps one day in future i can use fritz software again ... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
