I'll give it a whirl on my TS system.
Success! - I removed all Cygwin traces from my TS test machine. - I disabled DEP for all applications and rebooted (necessary so that the next step succeeds). - I installed a 1.7 distro from scratch. - I re-enabled DEP for all apps and rebooted. - I disabled the TS hack in the Cygwin DLL, rebuilt it and installed it on the TS machine. - I started bash and it crashed. - I started ash (always works for some reason). - I called "./peflags -t 1 /bin/bash" - I started bash and... it worked! - I started GDB and it crashed. - I called "./peflags -t 1 /bin/gdb" - I started GDB and it worked. - I started grep and... - I called ... /bin/grep - ... worked. - ... and ssh ... - ... and mkpasswd ... - ... and mkgroup ... So it seems that setting the TS-aware flag for all applications by default is the way to go, same as in Visual C++. Unfortunately that doesn't help us with existing packages in the distro, only for new ones, but at least we now have the peflags tool for these cases. Nevertheless, I will disable the TS hack in Cygwin 1.7 now. We have a much better solution now and the hack was a real PITA performance-wise. Thank you very much for doing that! I think this deserves a gold star. Igor? Are you still with us? I didn't see a mail from you since October.
