Hi,

I'm using 32-bit Cygwin 3.3.4 on 64-bit Windows 10 21H2. When running parallel make (for testing my project), very rarely I get the whole process tree hanging at some seemingly random point. An example of such a tree:

make-+-make-+-bash---find
     |      |-bash---find
     |      |-bash---find
     |      |-bash---find
     |      |-bash---find
     |      `-bash---javac
     `-make-+-bash---bash---bash---readlink
            `-bash---bash---bash-+-grep
                                 `-grep

(In the above tree, javac is the zombie parent of a native javac, and the latter doesn't exist at this point).

I got such hang two times while running make in a loop for several days. ProcessHacker shows that all leaf processes are single-threaded and are stuck on WaitForSingleObject().

I've skimmed git log of cygwin-3_3-branch after cygwin-3_3_4-release, but couldn't find anything that seems definitely related.

Has anybody seen something like this?

Is there any way I can get useful data for diagnosing this hang from the process tree that I currently have hanging (I'm going to keep it for now)? Otherwise, what would be the best strategy?

Thanks,
Alexey
