Bhiksha,

Just two notes: it is unlikely that anyone will answer your post right
away on a weekend, so repeating your posts is only going to annoy people.
Especially if your second post continues an unrelated thread - it's much
better to start a new one, so people with threaded browsers notice your
post.  Your second message does have a much more descriptive subject,
though.

For further info, see answers to your original post <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg00561.html>.
