That's the wackiest bug I've heard of in a while! Does the same happen in a rxvt window and in a DOS box, or is it only one or the other? > I have used Cygwin for several years on Windows 98 and for the past year > on another Windows XP box but have not seen any behavior like this.

No, this is utterly unique and bizarre, and it's very hard to imagine how it could even begin to happen. Maybe someone's gone and created a real file called /dev/console and it's messing with i/o because it's not a special device node? > I'm attaching the results of "cygcheck -s -v -r > chgcheck.out" Well, I'd get rid of the set of clashing unix-alike tools that you have installed under C:\bin, for a start, or at any rate remove them from the $PATH setting, and then give setup.exe a quick re-run to give it a chance to re-do anything that might have gone wrong last time. Otherwise this is going to be definitely a tricky one to track down. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
