Hi Alexander,
Yes, I did get crashing from "simple cases" (i.e. plain text in a basic KDE
xterm [konsole]). In a couple cases the crash was within a few seconds and
in other cases I was able to do two or three copy/paste operations before
it crashed.
I am afraid that I haven't a clue how to track this down myself.
Does this error message give you any ideas?
winClipboardErrorHandler - ERROR:
BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Does the rest of the log output (in my original post) look correct? Are
there any clues there?
If this can't be solved, then it may mean that Windows 95 may be no longer
supported for Cygwin/X.
Is there any possibility that xwinclip could be used? Or is that
completely useless now?
Jay

I am using Cygwin/X running on a Windows 95 PC to connect to a Linux RedHat

launch terminal screens displaying shells running on an old SCO Unixware
server.
Does it also crash in very simple cases? copying from xterm for example should
work.
Maybe this is a problem with windows 95 but unless you start tracing this down
yourself you will have bad luck. I don't own any windows 9x box anymore and
can't try this myself.
