Actually, installing the full snapshot is overkill for tracking down this type of problem. It doesn't hurt, but just installing the DLL should be adequate. >from 2006-03-09 onwards with the following results: > >20060309 - Last non-problematic snapshot > >For the following snapshots, stuck processes are generated by bash >script cron job: > 20060313 > 20060322 > 20060323 > 20060324 > 20060326 > 20060329 > 20060413 > 20060417 > 20060418 > 20060421 > 20060424 > 20060426 > >For the following snapshots, the rxvt shell window closes right away (as >reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00487.html): > 20060314 > 20060315 > 20060318 > 20060319 > 20060320 > 20060321 > >20060403 - run.exe does not work properly Let's just focus on the present snapshot and the problem that you are reporting please. It isn't at all useful for you to recapitulate past (fixed!) problems in old snapshots. You've mentioned that the first failing snapshot was 2006-03-13 so I'm working under the impression that your report was accurate. Neither Corinna nor I have been able to duplicate this hang. So, I'm throwing this out to the rest of the mailing list. The failing script is not hard to run, so I'd appreciate knowing if it hangs for anyone else. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
