Now, the normal exit is part of the "run time" (crt0 or a similar name, that calls main and cleans up after) and that part is statically linked so, unless it depends on functionality on a Windows dll, it should not vary between machines.

That's a weird one, I have no idea what is going on (I was thinking about anti-virus or similar software that prevent creating files, but it doesn't look quite like that). -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

fork: child -1 - CreateProcessA failed, errno 11
OS : Windows XP Pro SP1
cygwin: fresh as of february 2006
I am trying to run a lot of numerical analysis in loop using "bash",
principally as follows:
for case in 1 2 3 ... 132
do
prepare input-$case
analyse input-$case
save results-$case
done
I find that my loops are OK until after about 80 cases, then I start
receive errors like
identified below. This is repeatable (but it take me 3 hours to reach
case 80), as
additional information I have looked at the "Task Manager" and it seems like
each loop increases my memory usage by about 3.2 MB.
I am aware of the following information:
1. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-04/msg00390.html
2. http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2005-09/msg00945.html
* Subject: workaround for fork problems?
Corinna and I have been looking into the reported problems with fork
("file not found", "died waiting for longjmp", and others) for a while
now but have been unable to come up with a cygwin-specific solution.
Microsoft, on the other hand, seems to have a fix:
3. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;824422
"When many processes run on your computer (for example, more
than 50), behaviors
that were not expected may occur."
I recognise the following symptons:
- When you try to start Windows Task Manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL,
Windows Task Manager does not start...
- The Start menu in the task bar may not open (does not).
- any process that uses the CreateProcess Windows API may have problems."
Can someone diagnose the below error messages? Is there anything I can do
to get more information regarding the errors and their cause (I have strace but
do not know what to do with it). Does anyone have any simplifying ideas so that
I don't have to wait three hours to the errors. After reboot which
appears to be only way
to continue work everything seems OK.

C exe redirection blank file
Hi there, I have been developing a system with the wonderful Cygwin and have encountered a problem today. A program I was developing on a development PC I copied over to the 'live' box (through network). This program produces two fopen'ed files written with fprintf. Summary of issue: * Suddenly I could no longer redirect the output of this program, and the two files it created were now blank. Environment: * The program also talks to the serial port at /dev/ttyS0, this aspect of the program remained steadfastly working! It also reads an existing file to get the port number, so is reading this OK too. * It could have been a program change I'd made - but I hadn't changed any of the file processing, and adding a couple of test printf statements told me it should be writing to the files! * I can successfully redirect output from other programs I've written (and copied in the same way). * I ran a PC chkdsk and it told me that "Windows has found problems with the file system". No kidding! * I've run multiple "chkdsk /f"s (and reboots), but cannot find any logs to tell me what happened (if anything). * I've tried changing the chmod's for programs and data files to no avail, and even compiling the program on the live machine - still the same results. * It also looked at one point as if it has written the data into incorrect filenames in the old-program-of-the-same-name format. Huh? A broken Windows index/program? * I've tried updating my bash etc and compiling it with a different output name - same issue. * I've looked on the internet and Cygwin archives for help, but can't see anything like I've got! Help?: Can anyone tell me if it's a Windows problem, a Cygwin problem, a virus, or a user/programmer problem? I can clarify with any coding snippets if required, if it's something up with my code. Should I get rid of the Windows altogether and go to full-on to Unix/Linux? I'm getting desperate! It's probably a silly question, but I've never set up a Unix/Linux system myself, and am "comfortable" with Windoze and Cygwin. Hoping for some answers.
