In regedit go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters edit DataBasePath change %SystemRoot% to its real value (on mine its C:\WINDOWS) Don't know why but this fixed my issue. The reason it fixed your issue is probably because SYSTEMROOT is not set in your cygwin environment, and this causes winsock failures, which manifest when telnet (client) tries to look up the well-known port number for telnet (service) in the ports database. So the interesting question is, what is going on in your environment? Is SYSTEMROOT set or not? Is it correct or not?

while : ;do bash -c true ; done # but this worked fine w/the 4/27 snap
Here's the nonsense command sequence again:
cd /tmp;echo -ne '#!/bin/bash -u\nfoo $@\n' bar;chmod +x bar
foo() { for f ;do bash -c true ;done ; } ; export -f foo
find /usr -print0|xargs -0 ./bar
In the function foo f takes on the value from the find output,
but absolutely nothing is done with the value $f. Maybe the fork
error would still show up if find /usr -print0, was replaced w/yes.
What would be the interaction between this and the SharedSection
parameter[1]?
The box that is acting up for me is a Windows 2000 server, w/OOTB heap settings.
It is running an Informix database server.
What other data would be helpful to collect?
cygcheck -s -v -r cygcheck.out attached.
too busy, probably for about a week to post more :-

I've been plagued by these problems for a while (since you didn't provide
full links in your message, I don't know whether you cited my message
among them without a lot of cutting-and-pasting). I would like to help,
but all information I have at this point is rather negative... One
definite data point is that unloading and reloading just Cygwin1.dll (by
exiting all Cygwin processes) fixes the problem for me (until the next
time I run that resource-intensive script that reproduces the problem).
I've been trying to figure out strace incantations.
Hopefully someone more wizardly can help? Is strace
the best/only attack vector on this?
I haven't found the strace to be all that useful, especially because the
information printed in the strace doesn't reflect what's actually
happening. The errno value is bogus (from inspecting the code). I have a
patch (attached) that makes it print out more of the seemingly relevant
information (pretty verbosely, basically dumping the whole pinfo structure
plus printing the Windows error code) whenever a fork error occurs, but I
haven't been able to follow through on actually using that information to
debug the problem.

I am aware of the following information:

I have strace but do not know what to do with it
I wonder if some strace like [6] would help?
Perhaps someone could suggest a helpful cheatsheet of what we might
want to focus on in strace output of these processes?
If it would be helpful to run strace against the processes in the
weather.sh fork example[7] , or in the nonsense testcase example[8]
...what should the command line be, and what would we be looking for in
output?

Torfinn, any luck on SharedSection parameter tweaking
per the MS KB?
I'm not Torfinn, but I can say that I've been running with
SharedSection=2048,6144,1024 (double my original values), which had no
noticeable effect on the frequency of the fork errors (i.e., I still get
them reproducibly).

wget from cron update Re: need help with cygwin snapshot debugging
If you are willing to continue testing, it may be worthwhile to keep this running for a couple of days. Maybe it is sporadic enough that it is only triggered very occasionally. I do seem to have run afoul of some problem with this process after another day. Though I cannot find any unexpected processes in ps ax output or tasklist and cannot tell from the filesystem or the weather.log or cron.log whether any files were not downloaded as they should have been, I do see this output from netstat -ano: TCP192.168.1.149:2479 63.111.66.12:80TIME_WAIT 0 [15 more just like it] nslookup tells me that 63.111.66.12 is weather.com My interpretation is that some of the wget processes to the weather.com site triggered from the weather.sh in my crontab have not completed. This state persisted for several minutes, until I stopped the cron service. Hopefully other avenues will prove fruitful. I need to stop running this test. -- 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/
