Since then, I have been busy putting trace statements into
the code, and have finally isolated the problem down to this:
-- the server copy of CVS.exe starts
-- src\server.c pserver_authenticate_connection() calls
lib\getline.c getline_safe() which calls
lib\getline.c getstr() which executes
c = getc (stream);
At this point, the value of c is EOF,
ferror(stream) returns -1 EBADF, and it's downhill from there.
Something seems to have gone wrong with the file handle for stdin,
which (as you know) began its life as a socket handle
in cvsservice, was duplicated, and passed via
CreateProcess handle inheritance to the CVS.exe server
process.
The posting from Bertrand did satisfy me that the handles
were not erroneously being closed (Hi Bertrand! Long time
since the days of C-SET2 FORUM, eh? :-)
It has been a while since I was deep into Win32 programming.
I didn't know, for example, that a socket handle could be
passed to a process and then read as if it were a file handle
(I've only seen that done in Unix, and Java).
I have ZoneAlarm 2.6.231 installed on this machine, but I get
the same symptoms whether or not it is running.
I hope that I've provided a new clue that someone will recognize.
