Hi! Are you sure that attaching to the process with strace isn't what actually what caused the process to start up? I don't see any 1 minute delays in the strace log. We got a strace file that includes the gap. See: and search for: 110111469 110230380

Hang at startup with 20051018 snapshot

Actually the subject line is not 100% correct, rxvt startup hangs. I don't use cygwin.bat and I usually start my shell with shortcut that contains this: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -cr green -sl 1000 -tn linux -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i It is still possible to start cygwin.bat, and a ps shows $ ps

Re: on the road to 1.5.19 - snapshot testing needed

I got another hang. This time on one of my own systems so that I might be able to reproduce it better. The symptoms are different this time. I have a sh.exe running on 100% cpu load in the task manager with PID 480 that is not mentioned in the ps output. The usual "ls /proc/*/fd" doesn't help thi
