I'm having the same problem that is described at http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-12/msg00195.html I'm surprised that it was reported in 2004 -- I use cygwin on several machines with no problems, it's only a new one that is having the above symptom. (Which is related to saving/loading the history file -- `fc -R foo' and `fc -W foo' also hang. Using strace, it looks like the problem is some kind of an infinite loop that is related to a lock file for the history file.)
I've seen this reported before, but I still can't seem to reproduce it. Can you collect the system info as per http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html In your debugging, what routine were you seeing the loop? Was it zsh code or cygwin code? Was it a system call returning a bad value? I'd like to track this down finally. Lastly, have you tried the latest cygwin snapshot? Thanks! -- Peter A.
