Hi, > Does the patch help?
As the issue is sporadic it's not that easy to come up with a conclusive answer... I downloaded http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin1-20100309.dll.bz2, unpacked and renamed the DLL and used it as drop-in replacement to the 1.7.1 DLL. I experienced three times by now the effect that echo.exe "hangs" without using significant CPU time. Attaching a MSVC debugger I could only find out that in all three cases the executable stays in this endless loop: 7D6373D2 cmp dword ptr ds:[7D6A0220h],edi 7D6373D8 jne 7D628061 7D6373DE lea eax,[ebp-28h] 7D6373E1 push eax 7D6373E2 push ebx 7D6373E3 call 7D61CCB1 7D6373E8 cmp eax,ebx 7D6373EA jge 7D6373D2 I'm sort of reluctant to present this information this way as I'm afraid I'm to give someone a bum steer. However I haven't had this effect so far with with the 1.7.1 DLL so it would be at least one possible explanation that the patch has a bug showing up in the very sporadic case it is supposed to fix.
