Some weeks ago, I seconded a report that Cygwin wasn't releasing handles, causing some machines to thrash to death and the installation to fail.
I can report that the problem is slightly improved in the current release of setup, but I think there are still some leaks as it is currently sitting at 93% installation complete (and has been for a long time, in /etc/postinstall/xorg-x11-fcyr.sh). Current memory use by setup is 153MB, CPU usage 96%. It would be really good if setup.log could be written incrementally. It would make setup crashes more debuggable, and should use less memory, too. luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
