Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer

[cygwinautoreply@sourceware.org]

>Hello,

>I am a Sheffield University student trying to install MASS software. However, during the process I have received the following message a number of times:

>WARNING: Couldn’t compute FAST_CWD pointer. Please report this problem to the public mailing list cygwin@cygwin.com <mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com>

>I’m not sure what this means. Am I unable to download the software, or is there something that I can do to help it? I left the initial instal window open and is seems to have continued with some of the installation process - I am now able to access the MASS DEMO, but upon opening the cygwin batch file, I get the following message:
>2 [main] bash 6936 find_fast_cwd: WARNING: Couldn’t compute FAST_CWD pointer. Please report this problem to the public mailing list cygwin@cygwin.com <mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com>

>Can you help?

>Thanks
>Alice
