George,

Please change either your style of reply quoting or your signature.  I had
to jump through hoops to be able to include the full thread history in my
reply, as pine kept cutting it off at the '-- ' in your signature.  Also,
please try not to quote raw e-mail addresses in your replies.  More below.

I've just verified that Cygwin's Apache (which is version 1.3.29) doesn't
recognize "en-US" (but does recognize "en").  This may be a bug in
Apache...

Try adding "en" after "en-US"...

I don't see this on Win2k SP3, Cygwin 1.5.8.  But then, I run apache as a
service.  You didn't provide enough information to allow others to attempt
to reproduce this.  Please review the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines
at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> and try again...  Make sure to
provide the exact sequence of actions that results in the hang.
