I'm seeing something funny. While trying to build a large program on Cygwin using cl.exe (i.e. I am building a non-Cygwin app; just using Cygwin to drive 'make'), every now and then, cl.exe hangs. Before you tell me I'm on the wrong list :-), here's the funny part. If I do 'ps' in Cygwin, I can see the 'cl' process, along with its WINPID. However, it doesn't show up in task manager! Also, there are about five processes that are clearly Cygwin processes (bash.exe or sh.exe) that do NOT show up in Cygwin's 'ps'.
Following up on this... I still haven't determined a cause, but it seems to have gone away for the moment. I should note that a: I was building on an NFS volume, and b: I had running in another window 'while sleep 2; do make install; done' (an equivalent, anyway). After stopping the repeating 'make', I'm not seeing it any more.
Maybe this information can help with the 'cron job hangs' problem. Anyway, if anyone figures out anything, please share with the rest of us.
