Hi All...
My problem is that now the older cygwin1.dll, that still worked with windows
native unison (and other windows native programs) on XP SP2 is neither
usable or available through setup.
There were some comments about reverting a patch to the pipe handling code
until the problem was solved. Bob Byrnes had some posts when he was looking
into it...but I have not seen anything since October 6.
What is the status of this problem?
What is my best alternative for working around the problem?
Thanks,
...Karl

Hi All...
I just tried reverting to an earlier cygwin1.dll on an XP SP2 machine (no
longer available in setup) to resolve the pipe problem. When I start a bash
window, I get an error message that _impure_ptr can not be found.
So I rolled forward again.
How do I build the dll without the problematic pipe code changes? Or is a
change expected soon to resolve this?
Thanks,
...Karl
