Startting the following example from the bash that is started from the cygwin icon (cygwin.bat) didn't show the problem so far.Will it reproduce from bash in a command prompt if you set 'tty' in your CYGWIN environment variable first?
I tried that already yesterday but didn't report back. No, even after several hours running in a bash from from a comand prompt with CYGWIN=tty set before starting bash I cannot reproduce that starnge hang. Volker P.S.: I'm actually not very interested in this 4nt hang, but I wonder if the original problem is also related to the pipe problem <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-04/msg00899.html> but I don't know if redirecting output with dup() also triggers the pipe problem. That is at least where the hang in the OOo build seems to occur. A process started posix_spawnp() or execvp() with it's output redirected seems to hang sometimes. P.P.S: I'd like to verify my theory, but it only hangs for other people and works fine here. -- PGP/GPG key (ID: 0x9F8A785D) available from wwwkeys.de.pgp.net key-fingerprint 550D F17E B082 A3E9 F913 9E53 3D35 C9BA 9F8A 785D
