I had a chance to try Cygwin on Windows XP RTM (so, this *is* final version as you'll see it on 25th October). The Cygwin itself was installed in separate partition about two months ago and not updated since then. I just replayed registry under XP. This same installation failed under XP beta (do not remember which) and XP RC2. The same installation runs under XP RTM (at least, I do not have any memory errors). I have not tried to stress it, but before even simple ls failed. So, whatever issue it was it hopefully is resolved in final version. -andrej -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
