I think I found part of the bug. Does anyone know the maximum number of
users (ie the highest UID) Cygwin can handle before 'wrapping', specifically
in a domain environment?

Subject: X works, but xterm doesn't stay open
Hey all -
I'm new to Cygwin. I've searched the web for two days, and have
gone through the archives and FAQ without finding the answer to my issue.
I have the latest Cygwin 1.3.22-1, running on Windows 2000 Sp2.
I've installed all default items as well as a few others (like vim) and the
full XFree subcategory. This is a fresh install.
The symptoms: The bash shell when launched form the desktop icon
works fine (mostly). It does say that "id: cannot find name for user ID
59893" and " I have no name!@<mycomputer> $ ". I don't know if this is a
problem for xterm, since I've seen rumblings of a user/SID problem in the
lists that's supposed to be fixed by a later release (which I have the
latest), so I *guessing* that this is not an issue. (although if you know
how to fix it, please let me know)
I used the default startxwin.bat to start X, and it came up and
initialized twm and I got the outline for xterm, but when I placed the
window it disappeared. I started xterm again from within twm with the same
result. I set the DISPLAY variable from the bash shell (launched from
windows) and tried again with the same result.
So, I changed the startxwin.bat to start wmaker instead. I got the
same result with the xterm (opens and immediately closes). I'm able to run
the calculator and prefrences windows in wmaker just fine, but xterm will
not stay open from X or from the windows bash shell (making this slightly
different symptoms than I've seen already in the list archives).
There are no error messages or error files for me to analyze (that I
can find anyway). Any idea what's going on? I've posted the Xwinrl.log and
the setup.log below.
