I've uploaded another test version of the Cygwin DLL and its utilities, version 1.5.25-10.
The main purpose of this update is to allow Cygwin to run correctly on Windows 2008 Server. A change in the exception handling in Windows 2008 Server requires to change the exception handling in the Cygwin DLL as well, otherwise an exception in a Cygwin process results in an endless loop in the OS, taking 100% CPU. I reported this problem upstream. News: The problem has been confirmed to be a missing check in one of the OS DLLs. Apart from that, this new release contains a couple of additional fixes which cropped up in the last two months. Please give it a test. The official release will be delayed for a couple of days. A patch to fflush/ftell sent to the newlib list looks serious enough to be considered for inclusion into 1.5.25. Changes since version 1.5.25-9: - Another change in exception handling. Changes since version 1.5.25-8: - Revert to the former Linux-like behaviour in exception handling. Changes since version 1.5.25-7: - Allow cygcheck to run on Windows 9x again. - Fix testing for Samba shares to use more reliable test available with upcoming versions of Samba (3.0.28a, 3.2.0). - Change exception handling to run under Windows 2008 Server. - Fix a crash when creating stackdumps on Windows XP x64 Edition and Windows 2003 Server x64 Edition. - Fix pthread_kill to deal with signal 0 as per POSIX. - Fix ambiguity in thread signal mask handling. - Try harder to make a pipe into a full-cygwin device. - Fix strtod to handle incomplete hex strings correctly.
