Resource temporarily unavailable launching idle under cygwin

[jcmendez]

PS:  I already tried what suggested in a previous message on the groups
"Python 2.3.2 spawn problem" - Uninstalling and reinstalling python
without luck.

Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 18 2006, 07:40:45)
[GCC 3.3.3 (cygwin special)] on cygwin

Thanks!
