Re: Oracle 10g sqlplus takes 6 quits or exits when run from cygwin

From time to time I've been getting 'assertion "root_idx != -1" failed ...' cygwin crashes. (I think the crashes started after I upgraded cygwin to 1.7...). I finally decided to see if I could reliably reproduce the crash. I've found that if I run a command as follows simultaneously in 2 separ
