I am having problems with cygserver similar to those discussed in http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-05/msg01378.html. On my XP Pro system, under Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> Application, I see several red X's whenever I start my modified startxwin.sh. (I have found that the script in /usr/X11R6/bin crashes unless I add /bin to export PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:"$PATH":/bin .) So, my Cygwin utilities start OK, except I do get occasional crashes of individual xterm windows for no reason I can discern, which I have reported before but no follow-ups occurred.I am getting errors like: "The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Cygwin ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: cygserver: error getting handle(1684) to server (5)." I do run setup for all users, and my mounts are under system, the main focus of the discussion under msg01378.html referenced above. I cannot see if the is a cygwin or cygwin-xfree problem, so I'm sending this to both forums.
cygserver is a core Cygwin service so the Cygwin list is the proper place to discuss it.
