Re: Vim 9 problem under Cygwin64

 Thanks for your comment, Gary. I was certainly very surprised that such a workaround would be necessary, and wondered what might be going wrong 'under the hood'. In fact, in the course of my lengthy searching on the web for advice on the problem, I saw an intriguing post from you (probably from a good many years ago) about something quite similar where I think you were saying that you had a different way of handling the combination of cygwin and windows so didn't need to fuss with an issue which somebody was experiencing. Sorry, that's just my vague recollection, and I've now closed all the tabs I had open in my searches.

 For now I'm relieved to have some sort of a fix, even though it may be a bit 'dirty'. A deeper understanding of what is causing the problem would be good to learn about—someday.

I'm glad you and Salman got this working, and that is the most
important thing.  However, I did want to mention, in case anyone
else reads this, that setting VIM in your ~/.bashrc should not be
necessary.

I've been running Cygwin and Cygwin64 for many years on Windows 10
and 11, using Windows' gvim, Cygwin's vim, and vims I've built
myself under Cygwin, and I've never had to do that.  There's a root
cause that hasn't been uncovered yet; I just don't have the time at
the moment to help with an investigation.

Regards,
Gary
