Specifically, Cygwin PostgreSQL will hang and consume all available CPU cycles if cygipc's ipc-daemon is not running when either initdb or postmaster is started. > I'm proposing that the attached patch (against cygipc-1.11-1) be applied to cygipc since it solves the Cygwin PostgreSQL hang problems. Specifically, this patch changes cygipc's shmget() and semget() to return ENOSYS instead of EACCES if ipc-daemon is not running.See the following for the full details:http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00136.html The Cygwin PostgreSQL and KDE communities seem to be happy with the above. Would you be willing to accept such a patch into cygipc CVS? If so, then please let me know because I just found some more places where ENOSYS should be returned instead of EACCES. However, I would like to gauge your interest before pursuing this further.
I've no objection. But would somebody PLEASE tell me what the HELL we're waiting for with respect to the 64bit key_t change in newlib?
I've had a new release of cygipc waiting for months, predicated on that change, which I THOUGHT would happen "real soon".
Now, I have to revert all of that (I didn't make a branch point at the time -- why bother? the change was "imminent") before I release any other updates.
