@chapter Known Problems in the Latest Net Release
@section Aware of the problem, no solution known.
@subsection Hangs with Hyperthreaded Processor
Some users using processors with Intel's Hyperthreading turned on have
reported hangs that do not appear with Hyperthreading off. So far
the Cygwin developers have not been able to reproduce this problem.
See @file{http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-07/msg01100.html} and
related messages for details.
@subsection Pipe key (@samp{|}) doesn't work on non-US keyboards in Win9x/ME
This might get fixed someday, but meanwhile, just use rxvt, which does
not have this problem. This is no real loss, because rxvt has many
other advantages. (Do not attempt to use the "broken" pipe key
(@samp{¦}) as a substitute, it is a different character.)
@subsection Cannot access tape devices with mt on Win9x
Win9x does not support the API used by the Cygwin fhandler_dev_tape
class. Details at
@file{http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-12/msg00331.html}.
@subsection On Win9x, scp leaves ssh processes running.
