Hello, A few months ago someone reported (subj=Windows update vs. cygrunsrv) that windows update and cygrunsrv fails when trying to update multimedia programs on windows (MP, iTunes, etc). cygrunsrv uses nearly all cpu.
With cygrunsrv 1.15-1 and cygwin 1.5.19-4, I still have the problem. A workaround seems to stop the ssh server but I cannot do this since we use it for remote admin of windows boxes. Below you'll find the state of 'cygrunsrv' when it hangs using gdb. What can I do to get more traces ? Compile cygrunsrv with debugging symbols ? (I really need to fix this problem, so please tell me how to help...) Cheers, Ludovic. ============= gdb session on cygrunsrv ============ (gdb) thread 1 [Switching to thread 1 (thread 648.0x284)]#0 0x78468a87 in ntdll!ZwReadFile () from /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/NTDLL.DLL (gdb) bt #0 0x78468a87 in ntdll!ZwReadFile () from /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/NTDLL.DLL #1 0x77e86335 in ReadFile () from /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/KERNEL32.DLL #2 0x78edd578 in StartServiceW () from /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/ADVAPI32.DLL #3 0x000000e4 in ??
