RE: Problem with releases since -37


There is only 1 cygwin1.dll anywhere on my system.

Just to clarify what happens, I do get the do you want to report this to
microsoft box and no specific error message originally.  I then choose the
debug button, which is when I first see the access violation.

Anyone have any other ideas?
