Thanks for the report. I looked into this problem, and found the cause. less uses longjmp in signal handler, and if signal handler is called while cygwin acquiring the mutex, the mutex will not be released. This causes deadlock. I will submit a patch for this issue shortly. -- Takashi Yano <takashi.y...@nifty.ne.jp> -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
