Re: running two independent Cygwin DLLs?

Chris and DJ,

Thanks for the useful discussion. I'm running it right now, but I'm
running into some debugging problems unfortunately. GDB seems to be
getting SIGTRAP in the child (which is using this new modified DLL),
but only at times. However, the linked program run just fine.

It's probably best to just find another machine and use that instead.
For once I regret getting rid windows from my laptop.

How do you guys do it? Keep in mind that I never work on a windows box,
so go slow please.

That's the reason I posted to the cygwin-dev list hoping that most people
here already know the dangers of playing with fire ;-)
