I will appreciate any advice, how can I solve this problem. Simple, self-contained testcases, preferredly in plain C, or simple scripts in case the problem only occurs in a script language, which allow to reproduce the problem. Those would be most helpful. Corinna Example 1: #!/usr/bin/p

I did a little investigation - when the process hangs, I took the backtrace with process explorer. Process explorer does not know anything about cygwin debug symbols, so it just give an arbitrary func + offset. Then I used gdb to find out the real function: sync_proc_pipe doing yield in an endle
