hi
I am using the cygwin 1.3.6 release. I often get a
"Bad file number" error, most noticably when I am
updating via CVS.
for example, when I cvs update, I get the following errors.
cvs server: Updating lisp
P lisp/ChangeLog
cvs update: cannot change mode of lisp/ChangeLog: Bad file number
P lisp/comint.el
cvs update: cannot change mode of lisp/comint.el: Bad file number
although it gives me the "Bad file number" error, the files
are updated as needed. this hasn't happened in earlier versions
that I have been using. an excerpt from a strace log looks like this.
every error looks like this.
119 83011795 [main] cvs 1640 _write: 2 = write (2, 0x46424A, 2)
144 83011939 [main] cvs 1640 _write: write (2, 0x6100A9D8, 15)
121 83012060 [main] cvs 1640 fhandler_base::write: binary write
Bad file number 210 83012270 [main] cvs 1640 fhandler_base::write: 15 = write
(0x6100A9D8, 15)
126 83012396 [main] cvs 1640 _write: 15 = write (2, 0x6100A9D8, 15)
123 83012519 [main] cvs 1640 _write: write (2, 0x464297, 1)
120 83012639 [main] cvs 1640 fhandler_base::write: binary write
any suggestions?
the only thing I can remember doing prior to getting these errors
is updating cygwin distribution to what the setup.exe shows as current
and also installing/activating inetd as an NT service.
thanks,
hccheng
