Hi, On my 64-bit Cygwin installation, when I start `infocmp.exe` from within mintty, it opens up a new cmd-window (not mintty!), shows options and immediately closes. However, the infocmp process hangs in a way that defies killing -- it cannot be killed even from the windows task manager (first attempt at killing has no effect, later attempts return "Access is denied"). Same thing for its parent process, sh.exe. So far, I haven't found a way of killing these two processes short of restarting the system.
A workaround is to either uninstall ncurses or to move away infocmp.exe -- with luck, stuff will work (for example, `perl -de0` hangs because of infocmp, but works flawlessly with infocmp moved away). Now, has anyone else observed this, or am I the only one? I've tried reinstalling ncurses without effect, any other suggestions? I'm running 64-bit Cygwin under Windows 8. -- Irfan -- 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
