Nope; with snapshot 20090418 I'm still seeing the 'make -j2' failures. I'll see if I can come up with a C program that can be run as two processes to simulate the failure as a simpler test case. I did verify via strace that perl is using flock(fd, LOCK_EX). -- Eric Blake -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
