I'll try the --pdump option. Here is my configure command line: sh ./configure --with-x=no --with-gcc --with-toolbars=yes --with_dragndrop --with-xface --with-jpeg --with-tiff --with-png --with-xpm --package-path=/usr/local/lib/xemacs-packages --site_prefixes=/usr --prefix="/c/appl/xemacs" --cflags="-I/usr/include/w32api" --ldflags="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/bin" --verbose -- Fred Hart -----Original Message----- From: Jerry James [mailto:james＠xemacs.org] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 10:23 AM To: Hart, Charles F.

That will likely avoid the problem. However, it works for me. I have a laptop with Windows 2000 Professional with all the latest patches, and the very latest Cygwin stuff, and I do not see this. Did you pass anything to configure, or did you take the defaults? -- Jerry James http://www.ittc.ku.edu/~james/
