Ed:

What's interesting is I have not gotten any postings from Reindl so I 
have no idea what he has posted except through your replies. I've 
noticed that every now and then I will get a bunch of emails from Reindl 
to the list and they are a day or two old.

Oh well.

It was a bad idea to go to sleep and come back today. Everything is 
working now (of course!)

However, I dug through all of my notes and can find at least two other 
times where this happened and it was able to resolve itself via reboots, 
Windows disk cleanup, POM, whatever).

I have just spent an hour trying to reproduce and can't do it. My naive 
guess is that something gets flagged "no" on the Windows side (whether 
it is Windows or cygwin is unclear) and some action causes that to get 
flagged "yes". And that is based on a total lack of knowledge about how 
things are being handled in cygwin/Windows ... except that it appears to 
be different as it is a Windows box, after all.

I fired off an email to the cygwin list to see if anyone there has any clue.

If anyone on this list has any ideas, I am more than willing to try. 
That being said, I cannot reproduce the error and may have to wait 
however long for it to want to show itself again.

Thanks for getting me focused on the right side of connection
