Just to be clear, when the test server is serving up a 250MB file, you'd expect it to ultimately be using 250MB of memory according to Task Manager? On my server machine, this meant that by the time the end of the file was reached, Windows was paging to disk like mad, and so the transfer speed dropped dramatically. I would argue that this is a retrograde step for ftpd, but maybe I'm missing something. Charles, the latest version of ftpd that you released (no MMAP, 4k block size) works fine for me wrt memory, but used considerably more CPU than the last version of in.ftp, with no noticeable performance gain. For now I'm quite happy using the latest inetd with an old in.ftpd, so if no-one else is having problems then please don't worry about this.

Ok, with this version memory stays at a constant 3600kb, cpu usage hovers at around 50%, and performance is quick (55 seconds to transfer the file). Its *possible* that the cpu usage is a red herring - the server is running in VMware and that may introduce some peculiarities of its own; however in.ftpd from inetutils 1.3.6 did maintain very low cpu usage.

Charles, > Unless somebody squawks loudly and soon, I'm going to release inetutils-1.5-4 > using 4k buffers for ftpd send_data(). Squawk! Unfortunately, with XP SP2, Cygwin 1.5 as the server machine, I get pretty much the same symptoms with each of the above ftpds serving up a 350mb file: 1. In all cases, the ftpd process' memory usage increases to ~350mb, 2.

Charles, > antony, please test the following: > http://cygwin.cwilson.fastmail.fm/ITP/ftpd.exe.bz2 Better, in the sense that I can now retrieve the file; however ftpd.exe's memory usage (monitored via Task Manager) now grows continously during the transfer until eventually the server machine grinds to a halt, paging furiously. Once the transfer does finally finish ftpd.exe's memory usage drops back to normal (2,400K).

Their uuid.c does include , but /usr/include/uuid/uuid.h doesn't include the uuid_unparse_lower function; nor does strings /usr/lib/e2fsprogs/libuuid.a | grep lower return anything.

Hello, This afternoon, for the first time, I began experiencing the C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't allocate heap ... child_copy: stack write copy failed,... errors that have been reported on this list before. I am getting these errors on every '#! /bin/bash' script, though I can initially open a bash shell. I tried changing the heap sizes, and tried rebaseall - neither made a difference. Earlier today I had installed the drivers for my new Logitech webcam. Suspecting that these might be the problem, I killed all the Logitech processes, restarted all my Cygwin services, restarted Cygwin/X, and lo & behold, all the errors disappeared and everything worked fine. It'd be great to get these to work together, but not the end of the world if its not possible. Any thoughts?

Oh right - I forgot to mention - it defaults to csh
otherwise. I don't have csh installed. Pine doesn't
report this.

If it uses system()

probably is.
Spent some time on this last night and have now got to
the bottom of it.
It seems that, in Bash, if I don't explicitly set my
SHELL environment
variable,
% echo $SHELL
returns /bin/bash, but stdlib's getenv("SHELL")
returns null. Pine uses
getenv("SHELL") to figure out how to execute external
apps.
Explicitly setting SHELL to /bin/bash allows Pine to
work.
Hope someone else finds this useful!

1.5.18: Problem launching URLs from Pine
Hello, I've come across a problem with Pine under Cygwin. I've tried this with the stock Cygwin version of Pine (latest available from Setup: 4.58-1), and have also compiled up the latest version (4.63) and had the same result. I've also tried version 4.60 on Solaris and could not reproduce the problem. I'm trying to use the "url-viewers" setting in my .pinerc to launch an external app to handle urls supplied in emails. However, I cannot get anything to work. At the moment I've set url-viewers = /home/ant/bin/viewUrl in my .pinerc where viewUrl is a 1-line script as follows: echo $1 >> /tmp/viewUrl.log When run from the command line this (obviously) works fine. However, running it from Pine by hitting Enter on a URL and answering 'yes' to the 'View selected URL "http:"', Pine reports "VIEWER Command Completed", but nothing is added to the log file. On Solaris this works fine; the log is updated. Running Pine with -d 9 (highest debug level) I get the output below (only relevant bits shown). I presume the problem is somewhere in the open_system_pipe method in pine/osdep/os-cyg.c, but my C and/or Cygwin internals knowledge is pretty limited. If anyone's get time to take a look, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks, Ant. === Relevant "pine -d 9" output: 12:46:02.873219 Want_to read: y (121) 12:46:02.873219 resume_busy_alarm 12:46:02.873219 Opening pipe: "/home/ant/bin/viewUrl 'http://www.google.com'" (UT) 12:46:02.873219 about to end_tty_driver 12:46:02.873219 end_screen called 12:46:02.915219 PID: 2800, COMMAND: /home/ant/bin/viewUrl 'http://www.google.com' 12:46:02.915219 new mail called (force=0 VeryBad flags=0x0) 12:46:02.916219 INBOX: force=0 interval=150 exp_reap_to=300 adj_idle_to=1650 12:46:02.916219 since_last_ping=4 since_last_reap=5 12:46:02.916219 new mail returning -1 12:46:02.918219 fix_windsize() 12:46:02.919219 new win size -<26 170>-- 12:46:02.919219 Closed pipe: PID=2800: status=255 12:46:02.919219 q_status_message(VIEWER command completed) ___ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!

Gnu Screen
Hello, Sorry if this is slightly off-topic for this mailing list, but I've been following with interest the progress of getting Gnu Screen (1) to work 100% under Cygwin, on the Screen mailing list (2). When I last tried it, everything worked except the ability to disconnect and then reconnect to a running screen session, and people were working on patches for this. However, I just got back from holiday to discover that the Screen mailing list has closed down, with no explanation of why that I could find, and along with it the list archives have vanished. Does anyone know why, and/or where its replacement might be found? And has anyone succeeded in patching Screen to work fully under Cygwin? Thanks, Antony.
