Both before and after the recent cygwin1.dll update I have had occasional instances where <Ctrl-D> fails to close down an rxvt terminal window and I am left with the terminal window showing
$ exit
and not shutting down. I have been unable to discern any common thread or activity preceding this class of failure (usually I would look for evidence of some heavy use of "find" or similar) and it sometimes occurs when shutting down after very little / very light activity. The solution is to <Ctrl-Alt-Del> into Task Manager and shut the rxvt terminal window down from there.
The incidence of failures is today about 80%. Anybody else?
Attached: cygcheck.out. Incidentally I experienced the shutdown difficulty after just 3 lines:
cygcheck -srv > cygcheck.out
bzip2 cygcheck.out
ls -al
and actually later after just a one-line activity:
cat .bash_history
Thank you,
Fergus
