After try to change my setting I think I find when the problem will happen. (1) In the cygwin.bat ... SET PATH=.;c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\;c:\cygwin\bin;%PATH% ... If I remove the %PATH% the cygwin-snapshot works fine! the original PATH setting is shown in following: ( PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;D:\TI\C6000\EVM6X\BIN;D:\TI\C6000\CGTOOLS \BI N;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;D:\TI\BIN;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;D:\T I\C 6000\DSK\BIN;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\PROGRA~1\ULTRAEDT;C:;C:\MASM61 1\B IN\;D:\JDK1.1.2\BIN\;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;D:\TI\C6000\EVM6X\BIN ) (2) If I remove driver d: from the mount table snapshot also works fine! ( WANG.home $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode) d: on /usr1 type user (textmode) e: on /usr2 type user (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount) ) So, if you have some directories such as d:\anything in cygwin.bat SET PATH=.... (d:\ will be fine). And, the drive d: is in the cygwin mount table The reported problem will happen! Hope this helps the developers to find the bug of current snapshot!
