You *want* Cygwin executables to be TS aware, so, if at all, -t1 would be required. <history lesson> Way back when none of the Cygwin binaries were TS aware (before we defaulted to it in GCC), we had mysterious crashes when trying to run bash from terminal server session on "real" terminal servers (in contrast to remote desktop sessions on XP++ and non-TS servers). I even opened a case with Microsoft at the time. It turned out that terminal servers check the TS awareness bit, and if it's unset, a compatibility layer DLL is hooked into the process, which performs certain compatibility tests. For some reason, one of the test left some pages in the process text segment unexecutable, which then resulted in a very quick SEGV in bash. After the Microsofties discovered that the problem was based on the missing TS-awareness flag in bash, they dropped the issue as "won't fix". The solution was "set the TS-awareness flag". </history lesson> Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
