Sorry, it was always my intention to try the snapshots. I have got the
domestic duties out of the way now, and managed to determine the last
known good snapshot as the one listed as 2011-12-07 03:13:28 UTC. The
next one, the first known bad one is listed as 2011-12-08 06:55:55
UTC.
In between these there was a check-in of spawn.cc, if that is indeed
the culprit:
Revision 1.317, Wed Dec 7 10:48:17 2011 UTC (2 weeks, 1 day ago) by corinna
Branch: MAIN
CVS Tags: HEAD
Changes since 1.316: +11 -1 lines
* spawn.cc (child_info_spawn::worker): Add CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB
to all spawned processes. Explain why.
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/cygwin/spawn.cc.diff?r1=1.316&r2=1.317&cvsroot=src
Looks rather innocuous, so don't understand why it is causing me
problems.
Thanks,
Shaddy
