Hi Brian, What kernel version and what NPTL version do you have installed?

It has a severe memory leak, that's definite. But it does the exact same thing under Linux: $ ./example1 >/dev/null & thepid=$! ; while cat /proc/$thepid/stat | awk '{ print $24*4 }'; do sleep 3; done [1] 1310 1088 61820 136244 206468 0 [1]+ Bus error ./example1 >/dev/null cat: /proc/1310/stat: No such file or directory This runs the program and prints its RSS in Kbytes every three seconds. As you can see it very quickly consumes all memory and crashes to a halt. Whatever this problem is, I do not think it's related to Cygwin in any way, except for the fact that it takes much longer under Cygwin to exhaust all memory due to the slower pthread locking compared to Linux.
