OK, I modified the Rails source code to add the puts statement just above the statement that reads from /dev/urandom. I then ran strace again and looked for the relevant section of the output. I trimmed out the leading numeric stuff so I could run a diff on them.
Here is the output of the failing strace: stat_worker: 0 = (/dev/urandom, 0x2402BD0) sig_send: sendsig 0x6F8, pid 2152, signal -34, its_me 1 sig_send: wakeup 0x6E0 sig_send: Waiting for pack.wakeup 0x6E0 wait_sig: signalling pack.wakeup 0x6E0 sig_send: returning 0x0 from sending signal -34 Here is the output of the working strace (with the extra puts statement): stat_worker: 0 = (/dev/urandom, 0x2402BD0) get_file_attribute: file: C:\cygwin\home\mb\some disk file cygpsid::debug_print: get_sids_info: owner SID = S-1-5-21-1614895754-1935655697-1343024091-1003 cygpsid::debug_print: get_sids_info: group SID = S-1-5-21-1614895754-1935655697-1343024091-513 get_info_from_sd: ACL 1A4, uid 1003, gid 513 fhandler_base::fstat_helper: 0 = fstat (, 0x2404810) st_atime=476B0E59 st_size=56814726, st_mode=0x81A4, st_ino=19703248369749074, sizeof=96 fstat64: 0 = fstat (1, 0x2404810) sig_send: sendsig 0x710, pid 3160, signal -34, its_me 1 sig_send: wakeup 0x6F4 sig_send: Waiting for pack.wakeup 0x6F4 wait_sig: signalling pack.wakeup 0x6F4 sig_send: returning 0x0 from sending signal -34 There are some other diffs since the modified code continues on to successfully complete, but this is the section that references /dev/urandom and has diffs. Can anyone make sense of it?
