I was running the open_posix_testsuite against the current "homebuilt" cygwin1.dll but I get the same error if I use the new dll to build itself. It only happens randomly to gcc.exe but it always errors at the same location "0x61085fba".
I run the testsuite when I built the dll which gives: FAIL: msgtest.c (execute) FAIL: semtest.c (execute) FAIL: shmtest.c (execute) FAIL: pthread/mainthreadexits.c (execute) === winsup Summary === # of expected passes 259 # of unexpected failures 4 # of expected failures 14 The pthread test is the only abnormal failure as I am not using the cygserver. I looked at the mainthreadexits.c test and I was not sure if the test was correct. So that's what lead me to try out the open_posix_testsuite. I am currently "Googling" for different debugging methods and contemplating having a Xmas drink or two. I tried the "how-to-debug-cygwin.txt" but GDB did not provide any useful information. Sorry I am not more helpful. Merry Xmas to all.
