I have never seen this problem on recent Cygwins, but it maybe because I
use NT4.0 and Win2000. Cygwin was designed (and it is only officially
supported) for NT (and has been upgraded to Win2000) so I have always
hearing about some little problems on Win9x machines.
My experience with Win9x was disastrous for everything else as well. I
had a machine with the MS office stuff plus Quicken and some other off
the shelf Windows applications. At least one crash and one reboot a
day. Until I gave up and upgraded to NT.
