There is no "of course" in troubleshooting. As Achim noted and you didn't quote, whether a "Windows 7 SP1" system is up-to-date depends on what has been laid on top of Windows 7 SP1. Since, as Achim also noted, MS refused to use SP2 to refer to the huge sets of patches following SP1, then SP1 by itself is insufficient information. >>> So I turn to strace and it states Illegal Instruction.

You don't specify what you're referring to here. What Achim is referring to is https://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA and the list of applications found on the link there. > I changed nothing; it worked yesterday; today it didn't.

You changed nothing, do you know nothing was changed? (Those two are often not the same in a corporate environment. And even on a computer where, e.g., updates are applied automatically.) Regardless, that's how BLODA often manifests itself—things that worked perfectly an hour ago now don't. >>> $ uname -a >>> CYGWIN_NT-6.1 applejack 3.0.7(0.338/5/3) 2019-04-30 18:08 x86_64 Cygwin >> A current Cygwin... >>> $ cygcheck -c perl perl_base >>> Cygwin Package Information >>> Package Version Status >>> perl 5.22.4-1 OK >>> perl_base 5.22.4-1 OK >> combined with an outdated Perl (Cygwin is at 5.26.3 now).

Your perl isn't working, and the person trying to help you troubleshoot your problem suggested it as the next step. -- 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
