Hi All,
After upgrading cygwin, my emacs shortcut stopped working and I
discovered that ``run emacs'' yielded the error:
12 [main] emacs 900 C:\cygwin\bin\emacs.exe: *** fatal error -
internal error reading the windows environment --
too many environment variables?
Is this a known problem, and if not what can I do to help figure it out?
I saved C:\cygwin\ (by renaming it) on a different machine and
reinstalled cygwin from scratch, and this problem appeared on it as
well. Restoring the old installation fixes things.
Whatever caused the problem does not seem to be emacs or run
themselves, as both old and new versions appear to be the same:
emacs 21.2-13, run 1.1.6-1. I assume that an upgraded .dll could be
the problem, and I could start swapping them out for testing.
Nothing special has been done with the windows environment on these
machines. With the old, working cygwin in place, I get:
$ env | wc
53 90 2443
$ run env | wc
53 90 2447
and with the new, broken cygwin:
$ env | wc
53 90 2443
$ run env | wc
6 12 385
The only environment variables returned from the last call being:
PATH
SYSTEMDRIVE
SYSTEMROOT
WINDIR
TERM
HOME
Full output of env and run env on the effected system follow.
Thanks for any insight here,
Kirk
