Greetings, When I run the following program under cygwin: #!/usr/bin/perl use Tk; my $pid = open(README, "ls |"); while (<README>) { print "Test: " . $_; } close(README);
I get the following response: $ jtp.open2.pl 4 [main] perl 5596 C:\Programs\cygwin\bin\perl.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't release memory 0x9C4000(1032192) for 'C:\Programs\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\cygX11-6.dll' alignment, Win32 error 487 4655 [main] perl 5624 child_copy: loaded dll data write copy failed, 0x6258C000..0x6258C140, done 0, windows pid 2287828, Win32 error 5 panic: MUTEX_LOCK (45) [util.c:2266] at ./jtp.open2.pl line 4. panic: MUTEX_LOCK (45) [op.c:354]. Cygcheck is attached. I isolated this error from a larger program I was assigned to bring up to date. I suspected that I had confused my environment with different versions of perl, but after removing all other versions I can think of, the problem persists. I deleted and reinstalled cygwin. No help. Other simplified versions of "open" work ok. I can make little from the error messages. Any help would be appreciated. Jonathan Parker
