I reallize that my previous post about this may not have been too useful because the problem was with a large, newly-ported application and I was running with a modified Cygwin. Now I performed an experiment that should clear up some things. I compiled cou_svc from the Windows port of ONC RPC (ftp://ftp.fh-wiesbaden.de/pub/UNIX/comm/rpc/srpc111.zip) on cygwin using libnsl from flick-2.1 (see http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/flick/). cou_svc is a simple demonstration/test RPC server program. I just modified it so that it gets SIGALRM (yes, signal 14) every second. I ran the program with a totally normal, non-modified copy of Cygwin 1.1.4. After a few minutes cou_svc died with: C:\cygwin\home\administrator\sig14\cou\cou_svc.exe: *** couldn't send signal 14 I think this narrows things down a bit. BTW. Yeah, my last subject line was wrong. It is signal 14 and not 13. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
