Hi, This might be related to http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-11/msg00021.html, I'm also seeing perl fail with a panic *with the latest snapshot*. Eg.:
$ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1 ***-w7 1.7.2s(0.222/5/3) 20100222 16:51:26 i686 Cygwin $ /bin/autom4te-2.65 --help panic: MUTEX_UNLOCK (1) [util.c:2641] at /bin/autom4te-2.65 line 93. Unlike that previous email, I have not tried to downgrade. I also cannot kill the associated perl process: --- [1]+ Stopped /bin/autom4te-2.65 --help $ kill %1 -bash: kill: (8056) - No such process [1]+ Stopped /bin/autom4te-2.65 --help $ [1]+ Terminated /bin/autom4te-2.65 --help $ ps -ef UID PID PPID TTY STIME COMMAND shaddy 7424 1 ? 06:05:19 /usr/bin/mintty shaddy 7328 7424 0 06:05:19 /usr/bin/bash shaddy 7204 1 0 06:05:48 /usr/bin/perl shaddy 8144 7328 0 06:10:24 /usr/bin/ps $ kill 7204 -bash: kill: (7204) - No such process --- I have to kill via taskmgr.
