As I explained in my first posting in this thread, popen() hangs my code when using the -mn=no-cygwin option under gcc.
Most of the time this happens, I also get printed to STDOUT, The process tried to write to a nonexistent pipe. The xterm window in which I am running the code freezes, and I have to kill the entire window. Is there any way this could lead to the cygheap base mismatch problem? Lester +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Yes, I just put in cygwin1-20051117.dll. The cygheap problem does not seem to be present, and I'm able to start xterm windows. A quirk though: Each xterm window also brings up a separate DOS window, and thexterm window is killed if I kill the DOS window? Thanks.
