Hi, I have a server that has been doing back end maintenance using perl on cygwin for 6 years now. I recently upgraded from win2k and cyg1.5.9 to XP sp3 and cyg1.5.19 (to be fare, I also cleaned up the perl code a bit). The script checks versioning and build info on about 600+ windows systems. Since the upgrade, it gets thru about 500 of them ( almost exactly 2 hours) and then:
panic: MUTEX_LOCK (45) [util.c:2266] at /c/dist_and_install_files/source/dist2/spUpdate2d.pl line 24, <HOSTFILE> line 277. panic: MUTEX_LOCK (45) [op.c:354], <HOSTFILE> line 277. It hits a slightly different time and position in the list each time, but always after approximately 2 hours. I found a few old mails suggesting rebaseall, which I ran to no effect. The system pretty much runs nothing but this. I've been running a version of this script since cyg1.3.9 and never had a problem like this one. Any suggestions?
