Hi,
Well, for my particular hang issue cygwin is hanging inside the
inside_kernel function on the GetModuleFileName call. I tracked
this
down by adding debug statements (strace.prntf) until I got to the
point where the debug print before GetModuleFileName would
appear and
the ones after it didn't. This is consistent. Each hang is
happening
at this spot.
However, this doesn't explain what is happening, but only where.
I also observed that the times it hung were the only times
inside_kernel was actually called.
I'm still trying to get more information.

p.s. using cygwin snapshot 1.5.19-20060205.
Due to your problem report and some googling, I had some vague idea
yesterday, what the problem could be. But it's not clear if the very
simple patch I applied yesterday does really change anything with
respect to your problem.
Please test the 2006-02-22 snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
and report if you see a change, to the good or to the bad.
Yeah, I saw that change, and I tried yesterdays snapshot but it still
hung. I also did some more googling and found that someone submitted
a patch a few years ago. The patch checked to see if it was inside
the ntdll.dll by looking at the handle.

I found this google too.

I'm going to try that patch today and see what happens. Christopher
didn't apply it because it was a bandage and didn't really fix the
bigger problem.
Peter
