Folks I could really use some help here. I still cannot get the ls
command to work reliably. It worked for years and about two weeks ago
started sputtering. I have completely unstalled all cygwin packages,
deleted the directories, and reinstalled from scratch. Even just
installing the bare mimimum packages and running a bash shell without X
or even a .profile, ls still fails to output anything 50% of the time.
At this point, I'd be inclined to get the source for ls, build a
version with debugging enabled, and use gdb. I've never used gdb
under Cygwin, so there may be some reason it isn't as useful under
Cygwin as it is under, say, Linux. In that case, you could add a
few printfs to see what's happening.
There's no great difference between gdb on Cygwin vs Linux.
Doing some debugging locally is by far the best way to gain some insight
as to what's going on. Good advice.
