Thanks Corinna,

I've tried the latest snapshot but the results still remain the same.
FWIW, here's cygcheck's output showing I used the latest snapshot.
Attached too is the raw ps output.  Maybe the full listing of ps and
the output positions of PID 4712 could give you clues.

But in any case, I've read cgf's reply and we don't want cygwin
slower.  I can live with listings containing duplicate PIDs :)

Thank you!

George
