All your examples work fine for me using the same DLL: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.3 vmbert8164 1.7.29(0.272/5/3) 2014-04-07 13:46 x86_64 Cygwin > Any suggestions how i can track down / fix whatever is going wrong here ? That looks certainly like a local problem, maybe a BLODA: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda. Did you update more than just Cygwin, by any chance? Do the Windows event logs show something? Alternatively, maybe something broke during update. Reinstalling Cygwin might fix this. Or rebasing. You could also try if a recent snapshot of the Cygwin DLL helps since there was a change in exception handling: http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
