Hello;

I added the sleep above, made no difference: (also tried with sleep(.5), 
same, the error still there:

====================================

   entering L2hos::Unix::syswait
      262:         my ($self,$cmd,$in,$out,$err) = @_;
      263:         carp qq{Debug (syswait): Running "$cmd"\n} if($Verbose);
      265:         my $status;
      266:         my $child_pid;
      267:         if ($child_pid = fork) {
      268:           sleep(0.2);
      269:           $status = waitpid($child_pid, 0);
######### Forked, but do not know how to create a new TTY. #########
   Since two debuggers fight for the same TTY, input is severely entangled.

   I know how to switch the output to a different window in xterms, OS/2
   consoles, and Mac OS X Terminal.app only.  For a manual switch, put 
the name
   of the created TTY in $DB::fork_TTY, or define a function
   DB::get_fork_TTY() returning this.

   On UNIX-like systems one can get the name of a TTY for the given window
   by typing tty, and disconnect the shell from TTY by sleep 1000000.

      275:           unless(exec($cmd)) {
       0 [main] perl 4796 C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe: *** fatal error - 
Internal error: TP_NUM_W_BUFS too small.
      270:           carp "Debug (syswait): Finished child process: 
#$child_pid\n"
      271:             if($Verbose);
      272:           $child_pid = 0;
      273:           return($?);
     exited L2hos::Unix::syswait
