NOTE: I've moved this to the Cygwin mailing list, where this kind of
discussion belongs...
I've not seen this problem myself, so all I can say is: make sure you
are using the latest release. If you're still having problems, please
feel free to e-mail the Cygwin mailing list with more specific
information, like maybe a small PS file sample which causes the
failure mode you're referring to.
