I've uploaded a new build of the X server with a small patch (attached) applied which should avoid this crash, perhaps you could try ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/XWin.20090629103603.exe.bz2 and see if that works any better... -- 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/
