Cygwin DLL 1.7.16/17 appears to break SIGWINCH/KEY_RESIZE behaviour

2012-11-16 Thread Ashok Vadekar
I have observed an issue in vim and mutt as of August 2012, which has persisted to now. From conversations with some other cygwin users, the issue may not be strictly related to ncurses based applications (mined apparently suffers similarly), but my experience is limited to those. In mutt, the (.

Apologies for violating sane quoting convention, but I'm working off a crapberry. Wrt to window titles: change your PS1 prompt to no longer reassign the title with the pwd (assuming you still have the default definition from /etc/profile (or similar)) and use the same escape sequience it uses

Recent change in redirection handling?

I have a bash script that ran cleanly under 1.5.9x, that now exhibits some disturbing behaviour under a recent upgrade. The gist of the problem is that the execution of compact /c file.exe >NUL which used to run and produce no output (due to the redirect) now actually puts the output into

I get the behaviour even if I comment out all the complex PS1 definitions in /etc/profile. To see it, open a bash (windows console, I don't know about rxvt) and resize it to be larger than the 80x25 (mode.com con lines=50 cols=120). Then type away (at a prompt) and see that the text will wrap at ~

Should setup work when /tmp is a mount?

With a recent new system, I found that setup was aborting, generating neither error message nor /var/log/setup.log* output. After a little messing around, I found that my mount point for /tmp was cuasing the problem. After umount(ing) /tmp, setup worked again. Should this (/tmp being a mounted d

one would expect. Seems like top is actually blocked trying to get at some windows resource that the closing shell has locked. On Fri, Jun 06, 2003 at 03:40:24PM -0400, Ashok Vadekar wrote: > I've stumbled across some peculiar behaviour for top. I've got the following > script (v

It would seem to me that this should be easily accomplished by wrapping open()/fopen() with code that does some sort of glyph recoding for uppercase characters. Getting the library code to access your wrapper would be a minor macro issue. While this may not be the answer you were originally look

I noticed recently that shutdown from a bash causes a "End program now" dialogue to pop up (for the bash console which is still running shutdow). Perhaps some other application is not closing and you can't see it (if it's a remote connection). On Tue, Mar 12, 2002 at 10:38:50AM +0100, Corinna Vi
