On my systems I seem to need a much larger sit-for timeout (on the order of 0.1 or more rather than 0.001) in order for the test to pass. But maybe this is not worth worrying about, since it's clear that this is a timing issue rather than a file-notify problem. > One point still irritates me: the tests run under cygwin change the > results after a while.

I hardly ever reboot my computer. But I mostly run 64-bit Cygwin. Are you running 32-bit Cygwin? And are the problems related to fork failures? (You would see error messages to this effect on the terminal or in the logs.) If so, I might be able to help. But in that case we should probably continue the discussion off-list. Regards, Ken
