Here are a few more tidbits. The exact popup text is: Exim-4 has caused an error in CYGWIN1.DLL Exim-4 will now close If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer <Close button> ps shows the forked process in a normal state. sysinternals shows it too. There is only one thread handle and the pinfo mapped file is gone (it is still visible in the parent). The cygwin & user mapped files are still there. I tried stracing the child, but got the same popup for strace. In previous trials I had failed to attach to the child from gdb. After pushing the close button (on the child), I noticed that the parent (daemon) exim showed too many pinfos. It had 7 pinfos mapped files, although it had no running child. I then killed -9 it, there was no error message. The exim log shows a few interesting things: The last mention of the child pid was (that may be misleading, reuse is a possibility) 2003-12-24 13:29:08 Start queue run: pid=159063 2003-12-24 13:29:08 End queue run: pid=159063 At around the time when I started looking into it, I see 2003-12-24 15:35:26 Start queue run: pid=153375 2003-12-24 15:35:26 End queue run: pid=153375 2003-12-24 15:36:26 Start queue run: pid=34403247 2003-12-24 15:36:26 End queue run: pid=34403247 Note a 5 min gap here, then 2003-12-24 15:42:26 daemon: fork of queue-runner process failed: Resource temporarily unavailable 2003-12-24 15:43:27 Start queue run: pid=176243 2003-12-24 15:43:27 End queue run: pid=176243 2003-12-24 15:44:27 Start queue run: pid=157315 2003-12-24 15:44:27 End queue run: pid=157315 2003-12-24 15:45:27 Start queue run: pid=153375 2003-12-24 15:45:27 End queue run: pid=153375 2003-12-24 15:46:27 Start queue run: pid=34403247 2003-12-24 15:46:27 End queue run: pid=34403247 2003-12-24 15:47:27 Start queue run: pid=178263 2003-12-24 15:47:27 End queue run: pid=178263 There is again a gap here. Next is normal, I killed -9 the parent. 2003-12-24 15:54:23 50 select() failures: Bad file descriptor There were no other gaps since 12:36:58, when I had started the daemon.
