Re: cygstart foo.pdf results in 'AcroRd32.exe has generated errors'


...
CW> function pdfv () {
CW>      cygstart /d/Program\ Files/Adobe/Acrobat\ 5.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe
CW>      \"`cygpath -w -a $1`\" &
CW> }

I get the same Dr. Watson when I try the above.  I agree, I don't
think it's cygstart, but it feels like there is a race condition or
mutex issue exposed when I directly invoke acrord32 (with or without
cygstart) vs. when I invoke IE and have IE invoke acrord32.
