-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone,
This msg relates to an earlier one at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-04/msg00223.html with title "Cygwin1.dll problem with Hyperthreaded machines" I have a ASUS P4-P800E DELUXE Motherboard in my PC, with an Intel 3.2 GHz HT capable CPU. The same symptoms as described for Cygwin 1.5.9 still show up for Cygwin 1.5.10-3, IOW: When the machine is somewhat loaded, the simple loop like #!/bin/bash declare -ix ITER; while :; do `let ITER=0` mypwd=`pwd` if test -z "$mypwd"; then echo "Test failed, mypwd is empty" exit 1 else ITER=ITER+1 echo "Next iteration is $ITER" fi done fails under Windows XP professional, Service Pack 1a. Sometimes there are about a hundred iterations, sometimes 15000, but fail it will. I have looked through the archives, but haven't found the (Re-)solution. Why is this a problem? Large ./configure && make && make install jobs fail at indeterminable points in time, with the same symptoms -- With kind Regards |\ _,,,---,,_ ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;, Volker Bandke |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' (BSP GmbH) '---''(_/--' `-'\_) Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped. -- Elbert Hubbard (Another Wisdom from my fortune cookie jar) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Security 7.0.3 iQA/AwUBQQpNax5trGyhAF0wEQLiZgCg96p6t6Vkt4NcUCii6A0/xlPqa4MAoOp5 6vt903sfB1joe7NWRUXent3Z =w6qt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
