The only machines that we are seeing it hang on are windows 2000 machines, sp4, with duel pentinum 933 mhz processors, and using ssh to login to the machine. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem on single processor machines or when ssh is not used.Under 1.5.18, the hang occurred about 1 in ten times in the test_configure script (provided in the bash_test.tar.bz2 file. Under the latest snapshot it's about 1 in 900.When the hang happens it appears that a process is completed, but still can be found in the process directory. The cmdline file says <defunct>, but the process still shows up in the process list (ps - ef). If I try to clean up by killing the process, the kill command says that the process doesn't exist. The only way that I can make the hung process go away is by using the task manager to kill the process.Your symptoms look familiar to our OOo build hang. I'm curious if in your case a: $ ls /proc/<hangpid>/fd also cures the hang. (Sometimes this has to be issued several times.)
This would make it "not a regression", if so. In fact, I did see some reports that dmake hangs in 1.5.18 in the archives.
Yes, the current snapshots are a lot better than the 1.5.18 release. You already fixed all of the problems I could reproduce. Thanks again, this is a lot better than the current release. But like the last remaining OOo build hang I cannot reproduce this hang either. I tried the script in rxvt and whatever you call it if you use the cygwin icon. It doesn't hang for me.
I'm wondering if it is YA symptom of: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-09/msg00923.html since, try as I might, I can't see any way that a process would hang and then become unstuck by performing a "ls /proc/<hangpid>/fd".
