MSYS tools installation crashes

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hi,

now I have to answer my own posting:

We found a strange answer to our problem, googling for MSYS and shell 
crashes:

http://osdir.com/ml/gnu.mingw.msys/2007/msg00056.html

Obviously the logitech webcam software installed and running on that 
machine influenced the behaviour of the MSYS environmnet.

Killing the running process "lvprcsrv.exe" made the MSYS system run 
properly again.

Hm.

I should have thought about it before. Should I ? Anybody has an idea 
what is the link between these two pieces of software?

Well, anyway, the system seems to run MUCH better now. And maybe this 
posting will avoid others to spend more time than neccesary to come 
around this trap.

wkr,

Thomas.
