Whenever I do this: 1. Launch gitk from a cygwin bash shell (either using cygwin.bat or with mintty), 2. Exit the cygwin bash shell, and then 3. Pick File > Reload from the gitk menu,
I get the following error dialog: Error parsing revisions: 1 [main] git 5724 C:\cygwin\bin\git.exe:*** fatal error- couldn't initialize fd 0 for /dev/tty0 Stack trace: Frame Function Args 00223908 6102749B (00223908, 00000000, 00000000, 00000000) 002238F8 6102749B (61177B80, 00008000, 00000000, 61179977) 00224C28 61004AFB (611A1670, 00000000, 6123ABAC, 00010000) End of stack trace [This is hand-corrected OCR from a screen capture so it might be slightly off.] Version information: Vista Enterprise SP2 32-bit $ cygcheck -c cygwin git gitk Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status cygwin 1.7.7-1 OK git 1.7.1-1 OK gitk 1.7.1-1 OK I believe the upgrade to the 1.7.7-1 dll is somehow related to the onset of the problem. Not an apples to apples comparison, but when I try the same thing on a Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit machine with cygwin 1.7.5-1 (same versions of git and gitk), I don't have this problem. On a (perhaps) related note: I'm not in the habit of exiting the shell. But what now happens (sometimes) is that when I switch focus from the gitk window to the cygwin shell window and begin typing, I see only the first character of what I typed, and then "logout", at which point the window is unresponsive to commands. It still echoes what I type, but with no prompt or apparent side effects. That is, suppose gitk has focus. I decide to type "git branch" in the cygwin shell. I click the title bar of the cygwin shell, start typing "git .." and see this instead: $glogout Then I have to kill the window, and start a new shell. It could be BLODA, I suppose, but at first gloss I don't see any unusual DLLs loaded when examining the wish84.exe process in Sysinternals Process Explorer. -David -- David Eisner http://cradle.brokenglass.com -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
