[Stangl, Alex]

FYI - My build problems got worse today, to the point where make was failing consistently. The problem has started to show up on some other developers' boxes too.  So I bit the bullet and upgraded to the latest cygwin again. This seems to have cured the problem, for now. The guy who has been working on our makefiles has been optimizing them, and building in a FAST mode where it will compile java files in batches rather than 1 at a time. That seems to be contributing to the problem -- it's running out of stack space or some other resource. Rather than get all the other developers to upgrade cygwin right now, he's just going to turn off FAST mode by default for now. Since I've already upgraded, I'll stick with FAST mode enabled for now and see how it goes.

Thanks for the help.

Alex

Wow.  This is quite old.  You might want to try upgrading to the newest
version of cygwin (www.cygwin.com or sources.redhat.com/cygwin).

There are still bugs there, but less of them :)
