how to start properly the X server at session start without the X menu?
Hi, I used to have the X server launched automatically when I start a new windows session (windows 7). I had the following shortcut in my Startup folder Target: C:\Softs\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe Start in: C:\Softs\cygwin64\bin Then I was able to start any X program from command line. That woked fine. By the way it seems that the DISPLAY environment variable was 127.0.0.1:0.0. This does not work anymore. I have found that in Cygwin-X menu, there is an Xwin Server shortcut with the following: Target: C:\Softs\cygwin64\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; /usr/bin/startxwin" Start in: C:\Softs\cygwin64 This seems to work differently: - the DISPLAY variable has to be just :0 to work from command line, - there is an additionnal tray icon with X menu with many applications. I do not want the menu and I would like to have again the X server started automatically without manually change the DISPLAY variable. How can I come back to the old behavior?

Re: cannot run setup64.exe without admin privileges (even if renamed foo.exe)
No. setup.exe (either 32bit or 64bit) is a native windows application, and if you're trying to build it within cygwin, then you MUST use a cross compiler -- either i686-w64-mingw32 or x86_64-w64-mingw32. when configuring the build, just do: configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin to build 32bit setup.exe from 32bit cygwin configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --build=x86_64-pc-cygwin to build 64bit setup.exe from 64bit cygwin ...but you can always mix and match the --build and --host settings; 32setup from 64cygwin, or 64setup from 32cygwin. It works very nicely. I have managed to build setup.exe for x86_64 from my old cygwin on i686 and I can now run setup on Windows 7 64 bits without administrator privileges. Wonderful!

Re: cannot run setup64.exe without admin privileges (even if renamed foo.exe)
Is it possible to build setup64.exe from a 32bit cygwin? As previously mentioned, despite the subject, there is no such thing as setup64.exe. The makefile creates setup.exe. The filename gets changed when it gets uploaded to cygwin.com to either setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe. do you mean I can only build the 32bit version on i686 bits and the 64bit version on x86_64 and in both case the binary is called setup.exe after running make? This means I cannot build the x86_64 version from a i686 cygwin. Is that correct?

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: stable compiler package gcc4-4.5.3-2
In my experience, these sorts of errors arise when there really is something wrong with the code, usually involving sizes of integers (e.g. 'long' in struct's definition and 'int' in another, on a 64-bit machine). However, the linker is poorly-equipped to detect such errors unless the resulting objects have different sizes. So, while I wouldn't rule out miscompilation, I would first check for silently conflicting definitions in different compilation units. Does the linker message gives any hint on where to look? BTW, a STC would have been extremely helpful here -- all we can do is speculate without it Could you give more details. I cannot find on the net what you mean by a STC.

Just bump it up and see if there are any issues, the mingw-w64 toolchain uses its own header set and the numbers don't always reflect mingw.org releases, since the macros in there are mainly for compatibility. You want to check instead for __MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR on mingw-w64. neither __MINGW64__, nor __MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR are defined because I am targetting win32, not win64, even if I use w64 compiler.

Re: i686-XXX-mingw32 compilers and __MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION macro: 3.18 or 3.11?
If you are using a mingw* compiler, then you're not using Boost on Cygwin. I am. Up to now, I have a dual cygwin installation 1.5/1.7 because I was unable to use boost nor wxwidgets with 1.7. I recently decided to make another effort to build boost with 1.7 because I feel that it will be difficult to maintain my build chain based on cygwin 1.5. I realized that there are 2 mingw32 compilers coming with cygwin 1.7: i686-w64-mingw32 and i686-pc-mingw32. I imagine that they correspond to: - w64 -http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ - pc - http://mingw.org/ I first tried to use the -w64- version with which I have troubles building boost. However, good news: I just finished building boost with the -pc- version! I still have to build wxwidgets (currently running). It would be nice to understand why the -w64- version does not work but it seems to be beyond my competencies. If you really want to build with Boost on Cygwin, install libboost-devel and its dependencies. This is an old version (1.43). I want to use the latest one (1.47) Frédéric -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
i686-XXX-mingw32 compilers and __MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION macro: 3.18 or 3.11?
Using cygwin 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10.
The following program:
#include iostream
int main() {
std::cout__MINGW32_MAJOR_VERSION'.'__MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION'\n';
return 0;
}
outputs:
- 3.18 when built with i686-pc-mingw32-g++
- 3.11 when built with i686-w64-mingw32-g++
why?
I have mingw-runtime version 3.18 installed. Is it used only by i686-pc-mingw32?
I found that:
$ grep -r #define *__MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/_mingw.h:#define
__MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION 18
and
$ grep -r #define *__MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/_mingw_mac.h:#define
__MINGW32_MINOR_VERSION 11
This seems to be one of the reasons that prevents me to use boost on cygwin 1.7.

Re: [1.7.9] bash: warning: setlocale: LC_COLLATE: cannot change locale (FR)
That now works fine. You mean after setting the locale in the mintty options? Yes I don't think it's anything to do with the update. There's been no relevant change, and there's no good reason why Cygwin would set a locale like that. A valid one would be 'fr_FR'. I'd suspect some other software you installed or updated around the same time. Another Unix environment perhaps? Never mind. It is not working fine.

Re: git over ssh
Actually, I don't believe that there are any fixes in the snapshot. I can duplicate the behavior but I'm stumped about how to fix it. Before trying the last snapshot, I gave a new try with my own repository and it worked fine! - so useless example. Then I tried with the cmake repository as it was proposed and it failed when cloning locally: $ git clone --bare git://cmake.org/cmake.git $ git clone localhost:cmake.git cmake-test Cloning into cmake-test... u...@localhost's password: remote: Counting objects: 95309, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (20810/20810), done. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly43 MiB | 4.52 MiB/s fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed Failed 3 times (so this example is reproductible). Then I killed sshd and all processes, installed the snapshot (I just change cygwin1.dll, is that enough?), restarted sshd but cloning failed again.

Re: mingw-targeted cross-compiler question
I checked the Make file, it used this flag: gcc -mno-cygwin -g -Wl,--add-stdcall-alias -Wl,--export-all-symbols ... replace gcc by gcc-3 gcc 4 is now the default on cygwin but the cross compiler is not supported for that version. Frédéric What do you mean by not supported? JonY maintains the cross compilers I meant that i686-w64-mingw32-gcc exists but not i686-w32-mingw32-gcc. I thought that w64 meant built on win64 and mingw32 run binary on win32. So it seems to me that with cygwin running on a 32 bit windows, it is not possible to cross compile to win32. However with a 64 bit windows you can produce win32 applications. However, I just tried to use i686-w64-mingw32-g++ on my win32 machine with a hello world program and it produces an binary that can be used from windows on that win32 machine.

Re: mingw-targeted cross-compiler question
Basically, stuff from mingw-w64.sf.net The middle piece of the triplet is the vendor tag. We at mingw-w64 are the vendors. We support win32 and win64, for both host and target. I admit it's confusing, but we didn't come up with a better name fast enough. That is really good news. I am following the gcc announcements and was expecting a -w32...

Re: rsync: rename .file.JVPk8f - file: Device or resource busy (16)
What you need to find out is what the files for which this happens have in common, plus a couple of extra conditions. They are all .exe files! most of them were created from cygwin using g++. Is UAC enabled? Elevated or non-elevated shell? Access control via Active Directory. No idea about elevation (do not know that). I am listed in the administrator group of the main machine I use (corporate PC). Are you using the same account on all machines (Active Directory), or do you use different accounts (at least one machine is a stand-alone workstation)? In fact since I formatted the disks in ntfs, I have used them on only one PC (the one used to format the disks). On that PC, I am listed in the Administrators group. It is rare that I plug the USB disk on another PC. When it is the case, it is with a different account and different windows version. Is the drive formatted with all permissions for Everyone? Yes, I removed all other permissions (system, administrators, user, creater...) and left only Everyone with full control (at the root). Which OS are you using, btw? Windows XP SP3 Since the error occurs apparently in rename(2), it should be possible to reproduce it without rsync, just with mv. No issue with mv on the same files! Do you run a anti-virus/anti-malware program which might interfere here? Yes I use Symantec. No idea if it is an issue. It was not when my disks were formatted in fat32. I just tried the same on W7 under UAC. First I rsynced an older checkout of the Cygwin CVS repository onto the NTFS formatted USB stick, then I updated the CVS checkout, then I rsynced it again. Worked fine. Thanks for that. I identified one file that was permanently failing to be saved had the following permissions on my hard drive: - Administraors: full control - Domain Users: ReadExecute, Read - MySelf: Modify, ReadExecute, Read, Write - SYSTEM: full control - Everyone: ReadExecute, Read - Users (computer\Users): ReadExecute, Read I added full control to my-self on the local hard drive and then rsync worked fine. On the USB disk the remaining .file.exe. has full control to everyone and only this which is fine. I then removed again the full control to my-self on the local hard drive and rsync failed again. Any clue?

Re: rsync: rename .file.JVPk8f - file: Device or resource busy (16)

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: git-1.7.0.4-2, git{k,-gui,-completion,-svn}-1.7.0.4-2
Switch to NTFS and set the permissions you need where you need them to the well-known SID of world/Everyone? I have formatted my disk to ntfs. Then I have removed everybody from permissions and added only Everyone with total control. When I create a file in windows on this drive : permissions are just the same, i.e. Everyone=total control. However, when I create a file from cygwin (1.7) with $ touch foo I get the following permissions: Domain Users = Read MySelf = Read/Write Everybody = Read So Everybody has not total control and I am sure I will have trouble on another computer. What should I do? Should I mount this disk differently? Currently I use the default via /cygdrive/?

How to set full control to Everyone on USB hard drive files and directories?
I have some USB hard drives. Up to now I used them formatted in fat32. Because of the new git version that does not work properly on fat32 drives, I decided to format my disks in ntfs. Following advices on this list, I removed all default users from root dir of the USB drives and left only Everyone with full control. I want to be able to read/write on these USB disks from any computer, from Windows or Cygwin. Nothing has to be protected. I expected all new files would get full control for Everyone and no other permissions. Unfortunately that is true only from Windows, not from cygwin. From cygwin: $ touch foo gives: Domain Users = Read MySelf = Read/Write Everybody = Read But I would like only Everybody = Full control. $ mkdir bar gives permissions are not in the right order when I right click from Windows on bar and click on security tab. How can I have all files on these drives with only 1 user, i.e. Everyone with full control so that I am sure I can read/write the data from any computer?

Re: How to set full control to Everyone on USB hard drive files and directories?
In Cygwin, create a mount entry for the drive and add the noacl flag. Then set the permissions on the root dir of the drive to full control for Everyone and make sure permissions are propagted to child objects. Can I do that only for USB drives whatever the windows letter refering to it (which changes from time to time...)? It seems, from http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table, that I must set a windows path as first parameter. Can I still use /cygdrive or do I need to create another mount point? Can I still have a difference between read, write, execute flags or will everything appear as 777? I have tried that in /etc/fstab: f:/ /mnt/f cygdrive noacl,nouser,binary,notexec g:/ /mnt/g cygdrive noacl,nouser,binary,notexec h:/ /mnt/h cygdrive noacl,nouser,binary,notexec i:/ /mnt/i cygdrive noacl,nouser,binary,notexec But when mount does not do anything in /mnt.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: git-1.7.0.4-2, git{k,-gui,-completion,-svn}-1.7.0.4-2
Therefore, this build turns those features back on. However, it means that this version does assume that you are not using FAT or FAT32 to hold your repositories, since they do not store file permissions very accurately. So I have stopped updating cygwin since the first time this message appears because I am using git on FAT32 usb hard drives. What should be the issues I could get? I am using FAT32 because I have never been able to use ntfs without permission problems when using the hard disk on another computer. What else could I do?

screen not updated outside 1680x1050
My screen resolution is 1920x1200. The X windows are badly updated (sometimes yes, most of the time no) outside the top-left area 1680x1050. My problems are seen with xterm, gv, gvim, rxvt-x... so I think comes from X.org. To produce the problem: start an X windows program, then move the window to the right and go back to the left. For gvim, it is particularly annoying when maximizing the window. However /var/log/XWin.0.log says it read the good screen dimensions: Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 1.7.1.0 (10701000) Build Date: 2009-11-11 Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com XWin was started with the following command line: XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1680 h 1050 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning 2009-12-17 13:37:31 _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 2009-12-17 13:37:31 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/VOR-CRV-01660:0 2009-12-17 13:37:31 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 2009-12-17 13:37:35 winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 2009-12-17 13:37:35 (II) xorg.conf is not supported 2009-12-17 13:37:35 (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information 2009-12-17 13:37:35 winPrefsLoadPreferences: /cygdrive/d/Documents/.XWinrc 2009-12-17 13:37:35 winGetDisplay: DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 0007 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winSetEngine - Multi Window or Rootless = ShadowGDI 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 1680 height: 1050 depth: 32 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff ff00 00ff 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks 00ff ff00 00ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 2009-12-17 13:37:38 null screen fn ReparentWindow 2009-12-17 13:37:38 null screen fn RestackWindow 2009-12-17 13:37:38 InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init 2009-12-17 13:37:38 InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned 2009-12-17 13:37:38 InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init 2009-12-17 13:37:38 InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () 2009-12-17 13:37:38 Screen 0 added at XINERAMA coordinate (0,0). 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () 2009-12-17 13:37:38 MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support 2009-12-17 13:37:38 XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel 2009-12-17 13:37:39 (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so 2009-12-17 13:37:39 (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0 2009-12-17 13:37:55 winPointerWarpCursor - Discarding first warp: 840 525 2009-12-17 13:37:55 (--) 3 mouse buttons found 2009-12-17 13:37:55 (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 2009-12-17 13:37:55 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: 040C (040c) 2009-12-17 13:37:55 (--) Using preset keyboard for French (Standard) (40c), type 4 2009-12-17 13:37:55 Rules = base Model = pc105 Layout = fr Variant = none Options = none 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winInitMultiWindowWM - pthread_mutex_lock () returned. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winInitMultiWindowWM - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - pthread_mutex_lock () returned. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winGetDisplay: DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winInitMultiWindowWM - DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winGetDisplay: DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winProcEstablishConnection - Hello 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winInitClipboard () 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winClipboardProc - Hello 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winProcEstablishConnection - winInitClipboard returned. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 DetectUnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winInitMultiWindowWM - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. 2009-12-17 13:38:01 winGetDisplay: DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:01 winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:02 winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. 2009-12-17 13:47:46 winWindowProc - WM_DISPLAYCHANGE - orig bpp: 32, last bpp: 32, new bpp: 32 2009-12-17 13:47:46 winWindowProc -

Re: [1.7] gvim Cannot fork error
I believe it worked fine before (until a few days ago). I updated to latest cygwin by running setup-1.7.exe. (Just running setup - click several next... - finish) And now if I do /bin/gvim :!ls I see a message 'Cannot fork' in the gvim window. And see 2 [main] gvim 2092 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0xC005, errno 11 in the cygterm console window. If I run '/bin/gvim -f' (foreground), then '!ls' works fine.

mingw32 runtime library: msvcrt not thread safe. How to use msvcr90?
Hi folks,
I have a big issue with the C runtime library used when with
-mno-cygwin option of g++: it looks to be non thread safe in the
istream implementation.
The simple program below crashes with segmentation fault when compiled
in cygwin with option -mno-cygwin while it works perfectly when
compiled with MSVC++ 2008.
The difference is that the program compiled from cygwin is linked with
msvcrt.dll while the one compiled from MSVC is linked with msvcr90.dll
and msvcp90.dll.
Do you know the difference between the libraries and why mingw32 uses
a different one than MSVC?
How can I use the same runtime library with gcc/g++ -mno-cygwin?
I am using cygwin 1.5 on Windows XP.

Re: mingw32 runtime library: msvcrt not thread safe. How to use msvcr90?
- -mno-cygwin implies that this is not a cygwin question. And -mno-cygwin will be going away in the future, in favor of a cross-compiler more appropriately named. Ask the mingw folks; it's their issue. Can you tell me where to look to learn how to use the cross compiler instead of the -mno-cygwin command line option?

Re: ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFHWADDR, ifr) fails with 1.7
I applied a patch to Cygwin which also reports the IPv4 addresses of disconnected interfaces, fetching the info from the registry. It's a pity that Windows doesn't correctly report these addresses in the official API. This won't work for IPv6 and IPv6-only interfaces. I didn't find a generic way to list IPv6 addresses except for using the official API. Since Windows Vista the IPv6 address information isn't stored in the registry at all, at least not in a publically available, easy to read place. Thank you, can I test it? Shall I just update my installation?

Re: ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFHWADDR, ifr) fails with 1.7
To fix your application, call either
struct ifconf ifc;
ifc.ifc_len = sizeof (struct ifreq) * 32;
ifc.ifc_buf = malloc (ifc.ifc_len);
if (ioctl (fd, SIOCGIFCONF, ifc))
/* Resize ifc_buf and retry */
else
{
struct ifreq *ifr = ifc.ifc_req;
struct ifreq ifr2;
for (int i = 0; i ifc.ifc_len; i += sizeof (struct ifreq), ++ifr)
if (!ioctl (fd, SIOCGIFADDR, ifr2))
/* Print result for that interface */
}
Thanks, this works half! No need of ifr2, ifr is enough.
I saw the name change: 1.5 gives eth0, eth1, eth2, lo and 1.7 gives
{821C54BE-...}...
However, with that code, I get all network adapters with cygwin 1.5
but only active adpaters with 1.7 (with IP adress != 0).
For example if I unplug the ethernet wire, the ip of eth0 becomes
0.0.0.0 with 1.5 and I don't see it anymore with 1.7.
How can I get all interfaces with 1.7?

Re: WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
So you have $TERM set to something that the system doesn't recognize.

Re: WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
rxvt-x - TERM=rxvt-cygwin rxvt-native - TERM=rxvt-cygwin-native That's the problem. /etc/termcap has an entry for rxvt-cygwin-native, but not for rxvt-cygwin. What you want in that case is just TERM=rxvt. Not sure where the bug is. Either rxvt is setting TERM wrong, or you have something in your shell initialization that's overriding it, or /etc/termcap is missing an alias for the entry. Its a fresh new install! Nothing about TERM in .bashrc, nor in .bash_profile. I just have the following in my .Xdefaults: Rxvt*termName: rxvt Looks like it is ignored. So is it a bug?

Re: WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
As the default termcap already includes an entry for rxvt-cygwin-native as a convenience for cygwin users, it should probably be updated to also include an entry for rxvt-cygwin. The three entries: rxvt, rxvt-cygwin-native, rxvt-cygwin differ only in their ACS (line draw) character string, which only works if you're using an OEM-recoded font...so, using TERM=rxvt is probably good enough for both variants, for most people. (I know of only one OEM-recoded font: Lucida ConsoleP) $ TERM=rxvt man ls gives the good behaviour. I just have the following in my .Xdefaults: Rxvt*termName: rxvt Looks like it is ignored. So is it a bug? Maybe, but maybe not. Rxvt looks for the .Xdefault using the following construction: getenv(HOME) + /.Xdefaults It does NOT use getpwent() to figure out your home directory from /etc/passwd. Therefore, if you start rxvt fron Windows (e.g. using a shortcut), then Rxvt can find ~/.Xdefaults ONLY if you have set %HOME% using the Windows Environment settings tool. My guess is that on your brand new installation, you haven't done this -- so the behavior is expected. I have not defined HOME but I can confirm that rxvt is reading .Xdefault as I use it to define the window size, colors, font size... I have tried to add HOME in Windows env. var but it did not change anything (either with a DOS path or a Cygwin path). So there is something strange with this TERM thing and rxvt.

Re: WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
Also, are you using the shortcuts in StartMenu/Cygwin/ that were created automatically, or ones that you created yourself? The auto-created one for rxvt-x has this command line: C:\cygwin-1.7\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/rxvt.exe -display 127.0.0.1:0 -tn rxvt-cygwin -e /bin/bash --login The -tn rxvt-cygwin command line argument always wins, no matter what is specified in /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt or ~/.Xdefaults. You got it! I use the one from Cygwin menu and the -tn rxvt-cygwin is to be blamed. I changed it to rxvt only and it works perfectly. Before this brand new install, I used shortcuts that I wrote myself and there was possibly not this -tn thing.

Specifically, it is being opened with options: Synchronous IO Non-Alert, Non-Directory File, Delete On Close The file is then closed and re-opened and the re-open fails because it no longer exists.
