Hi, More random ramblings:
I tried to debug the script using the ancient "print" inserting technique. The result was interesting. I can stop the crash from happening by adding a lot of print commands. Does it show it is a timing (race) problem?
To make it even more interesting, by adding just one (meaning instead of the many) print command close to the "system" one I suspect is the culprit, I can reproduce the alledged hang! In fact it is not a hang but a delayed crash. I left the script hanging and after returning to my office found it crashed.
Because it crashed in a novel way, I reproduce the output:
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/d/mozilla_source/mozilla/netwerk/resources' +++ making chrome /cygdrive/d/mozilla_source/mozilla/netwerk/resources => ../.. /dist/bin/chrome/comm.jar +++ updating chrome ../../dist/bin/chrome/installed-chrome.txt /cygdrive/d/mozilla_source/mozilla/config/make-jars.pl: Could not get lockfile / cygdrive/d/mozilla_source/mozilla/dist/bin/chrome/installed-chrome.txt.lck.
