Unfortunately, I'm seeing this same kind of symptom under Cygwin (1.7.5) when I run 'make check'. Several of the tests generate something similar to the above while others just plain hang and I have to kill the subshells in order for it to continue. I'm not sure how much of this is Cygwin and how much of it is zsh. I'll attempt to debug it but I don't have the time right now. -- Peter A. Castro or "Cats are just autistic Dogs" -- Dr. Tony Attwood
