Finaly someone else who has had this problem, however I have experienced it
using just cygwin ssh and just cygwin ncftp as well as once using x with ssh
forwarding. So i have only ever reported it on the cygwin list (to no
responce.) I can give cygcheck etc if anyone wants them.
I tried to duplicate it from home (over a VPN connection), but
could not get it to trigger. Btw, does anyone know about performance
problems with XWindows over VPN? It ran so slow it was unusable - data speed
was about 1KB/sec, whereas my ADSL is capable of much better.
VNC was a lot more usable, but should it not be the other way around?
Anyway, got it again this morning. The X session just crashed.
When I tried to start it again (using startxwin.sh), the shell returned:
listen: No buffer space available
xsetroot: unable to open display '127.0.0.1:0.0'
Could it be caused by the window manager? I was using wmaker, not twm.
