#259 htdig.exe refuses to run on Cygwin

[Anonymous]

htdig.exe crashes with DB2 error. Permissions are fine
and the script is being run as administrator. Both 3.1.6
and 3.2.* report this problem with the latest version of
cygwin.

I've also tried clearing everything inside db directory in
vain. It does create db.docdb and wordlist.new file and
then bombs out.

$ rundig

Did you index anything?
Check your config file and try running htdig again.

blows... linux only means linux only... :)

You can try these binaries:
http://mr.dyndns.org/Download/htdig-3_2_0b6.zip

If they don't work, too, then your CygWin is broken,
otherwise please post some more information about your
CygWin-version, Windows and your configure-options, so it
is much easier to debug ...

I've successfully compiled and run cygwin on WIn XP before
successfully. But now it bombs out with DB2 errors with the
latest version of Cygwin.
