That's not what I meant. I ws talking about minimum source code which allows to reproduce the problem. > Any idea? Sorry to say that, but to me it looks like a bug in postmaster. Looking into the stacktrace printed when the SEGV occurs, I'm getting this: $ addr2line -e /bin/cygwin1.dll 610D6127 610028FE 610173A9 61017A6E 61017D1F 6109E76C 610942FF /home/corinna/src/cygwin/vanilla/newlib/libc/machine/i386/memset.S:45 /home/corinna/src/cygwin/vanilla/winsup/cygwin/cygheap.cc:331 /home/corinna/src/cygwin/vanilla/winsup/cygwin/dtable.cc:375 /home/corinna/src/cygwin/vanilla/winsup/cygwin/dtable.cc:486 /home/corinna/src/cygwin/vanilla/winsup/cygwin/dtable.cc:532 /home/corinna/src/cygwin/vanilla/winsup/cygwin/syscalls.cc:127 This is the stacktrace of a dup() call on the tty slave descriptor. It looks like a heap corruption to me. It has certainly nothing to do with semaphores. I'd rather like to see somebody who knows postmaster to debug it to the point where the SEGV occurs and to create a minimum testcase (see above) if possible.
