OK, I didn't have the snapshot installed. It was the 1.7.9 dll. I had copied it in, then found I couldn't start bash, backed out the change, and rebooted, but I guess I forgot to redo it. I just installed it and did some testing, and it seems to be working OK. I'll report back if I see another crash. I just ran this test, in parallel on 4 different source trees (each composed of 52 repos): git fetch origin git rebase origin/master git status and not a single crash. It's usually good for 3-5 crashes, if I do them in parallel like that. Fingers crossed. NOTE: I run with CYGWIN="nodosfilewarning proc_retry:1" because I run a lot of non-cygwin software from shell scripts, and during testing, that can take 10's of minutes, I can't afford to have those programs restarted if they crash on exit. Before setting proc_retry:1, I once saw a loop of a 30 minute test run that went on for 10+ iterations. It would be really nice if you could apply proc_retry to cygwin programs only. Would that be possible? Then, I could remove that setting from CYGWIN and life would probably be better for me. -- 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
