Symlinks+cygdrive causes flashing taskbar ??

[John Wiersba <John dot Wiersba at medstat dot com>]

BTW, since I haven't received even a single reply (curt or otherwise) to the
post referenced at the bottom of this email, this might qualify as one of
those "non-answers" being discussed in the Blunt Tools thread...

I have checked the FAQ, the Users Guide, google, the archives -- but I can't
find a reference to this.

In the simplest case I have found, /bin/ls -lF / causes my taskbar to flash.
My root dir contains a number of symlinks of the form: d -> /=/d where /= is
my cygdrive prefix.

Can anyone explain this or duplicate it?  Other more-complicated cases cause
even worse flashing.  I just reloaded cygwin from scratch yesterday -- I
didn't have this problem with my prior version (circa 12/13/00).

Thanks!
