I finally managed to solve this. As strange (or wildly speculative) as it may sound, I have concluded the problem is related to chere (cygwin bash prompt here) somehow interfering with the permissions on sh.exe. If anybody is interested in more details, I can provide them. Thanks to Larry for his h

There is any expected specific limit to command line length in bash scripts on cygwin ? Testing octave, I am noticing that line longer than ~ 5000 characters are aborted with no message. The line is : OCTAVE_BINDIR="$builddir/s

I've found a *critical* issue with this patch. cygrunsrv now no longer appears in setup.ini, so the package doesn't actually get installed by anything. Also, the packages don't actually appear on http://cygwin.com/packages/x86/cygrunsrv/ This effectively breaks every cygwin service. -- Problem
