Problem regarding rebuilding Cygnus user-tools and Bash

[Volker Zell]

Hi all !



I found a solution to my previous problem.



I replaced the cygwin.dll dated 23.09.1997 (572.950 Bytes)

with cygwin.dll from 10.08.1997 (598.202 Bytes) and now my problem

disappeared.



Anyway does anybody has an idea what's wrong with the latest cygwin.dll ?



Here is again a testscript:



__________________



#!/bin/sh

uname -a

a=`uname -a`

echo $a



_________________



With cygwin.dll from 10.08.1997 (598.202 Bytes):



vzell:/src> test_uname

CYGWIN32_NT TRGDPC5 4.0 17.6 i586

CYGWIN32_NT TRGDPC5 4.0 17.6 i586

vzell:/src>

But now the strange thing, when I use the latest cygwin.dll

from a 4NT prompt like this



[d:\vzell\gnuwin32\b18\user-tools]bash -c test_uname

CYGWIN32_NT TRGDPC5 4.0 17.6 i586

CYGWIN32_NT TRGDPC5 4.0 17.6 i586



[d:\vzell\gnuwin32\b18\user-tools]



This works with every version from the cygwin.dll



Ciao
