Description
Platform: Vista grass obtained from: Trento Italy site grass binary for platform: as Downloaded GRASS Version: 6.4.0SVN (r39626) 2009-10-27
Clicking on either of the MYSYS shortcuts created during a winGrass installation opens an infinite series of empty windows that cascade across the screen.
When I finally manage to crass out of the infinite loop I sometime manage to see a Windows error message that says 'rxvt not responding'.

for the record: there are some hints for this issue for Win64 in
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows#InstalltheenvironmentforcompilationMingW
so the actual WinGrass-Installer is built with an updated msys in the osgeo4w-building environment.

Hi,
I don't think it's related, but just in case- see also the bug report #1184 about zombie processes cluttering up the ctrl-alt-del task list.

not really, osgeo4w's msys is just replaced by another msys, see compile on windows
I've looked at the msys.bat file but I can't see anything that would cause a loop. rxvt.exe won't work on an x64 system but it should jump to an exit on fail...
Can you open a cmd.exe window and tell us what the value of %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% is? ie.
