I have a very repeatable issue, but I'm not sure how to go about
debugging it. I follow this process.
1) Start an rxvt bash shell
2) Go to a git repo folder
3) Start gitk
gitk --all&
4) Go back to bash and press any key except enter and bash closes
I also get a similar problem with this process:
1) Start an rxvt bash shell
2) Go to a git repo folder
3) Start gitk
gitk --all&
4) Close gitk with the close button. Both gitk and bash close.
Note that the issue does not happen if I don't start gitk as a
background process. But then I can't use the shell.
Any debugging tips?
This sounds suspiciously similar to a problem that hit me a while back:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-09/msg00225.html
The short version is, running certain apps in the background triggers a
bug in tty handling.
Last I heard Corinna was having trouble diagnosing because the bug also
kills strace :)
No fix yet AFAIK.
Regards,
Ryan
