Bummer. It's a lot easier just to use cygwin itself ...

But it feels like a bug !!!

If the example works with "right", but not "left", it doesn't feel like 
something where the syntax has changed. It feels like something that's 
gone wrong!

Okay - I might just get the answer "upgrade to the latest version", but 
it would be nice to know whether it IS a bug, or whether I've just 
mis-understood the docu. I'll download the 2.6 docs, but I strongly 
suspect I'll find nothing has changed ...

good idea to burden them with too much input. Hex always thought of his reports
