Got it. I'm attaching a minimal test case. glibc's makefile requires that Make be able to handle 140 levels of include recursion, but cygwin Make crashes after about 130 -- unless you're running under gdb or strace, in which case it works fine.
Turns out the smallest test case is even smaller:
#include <stdio.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int i;
for (i=0; ; i++) {
int fd = open("foo.c", O_RDONLY);
printf("fd #%d is %d\n", i, fd);
}
}This crashes for me at the 133rd fd unless I run it under gdb, in which case it runs quite happily forever without crashing (though it runs out of fds fairly soon). And this is a WinXP system with an up-to-date cygwin and scads of memory, not some Win95 box with 16MB...
It's all a bit mysterious. Where's a good place to look for clues? I've already tried shutting down as many systray programs as I can... - Dan
