Today I had a lull in work so I was able to close all my apps and
reboot my PC - an event I often have to plan days in advance for I'm
afraid. Upon resurrection, I now note that this problem seems to no
longer occur. I can open multiple 1.5 and 1.7 mintty sessions without
any apparent problems.

I'm still not able to launch 1.7's apache2 however - but that's the
subject of another email.

Thanks for everyone's responses.
