At this point, I think you need to go through the problem reporting process as outlined in http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html. Specifically, your cygcheck output. Additionally, I'd like you to run 'uname -a', 'setopt', 'env' and 'set' from within zsh with both correct and correctall off. Send all of that to the list, as attachments, and I'll analyse them.

zsh 4.1.1-3 on W2000 hangs with command not found
Zsh hangs when running a non-existent command. It usually hangs as soon as you give a non existing command, however sometimes it works correctly two or three times and then hangs. I am running zsh also on Win XP and there it behaves correctly. I also trie stracing it but I wasn't able to reproduce the same bug.

Re: zsh 4.1.1-3 on W2000 hangs with command not found

It usually hangs as soon as you give a non existing command, however sometimes it works correctly two or three times and then hangs. What do you mean by non-existant command? I am running zsh also on Win XP and there it behaves correctly. Some people were already describing similar things (including me). It appears to me (running Windows XP) that things like aeiou don't hang while /bib/aeioiu hang. I have to do unsetopt correct correctall (both!) to make it go away. On my Gentoo Linux box (same hardware, same .zshrc) I have no problems and not a single second delay. If the problem is the same for you I might suggest debugging this with strace (with all the correct options set and after that unset). I have no experience with strace and just very limited time this week so I cannot myself.

I'm already running the snapshot from 2004-Mar-05 (and now downloading the one from 2004-Mar-06) all the 1.5.8 snapshots I tried didn't fix that. Nope. You are mistaken. It works fine. In fact, on checking the archives you even told someone to use the snapshot to fix this problem. Yeah, that was to someone who had problems 1) sometimes when I start zsh it hangs, sometimes it starts normally; (2) zsh command-line editing generally badly messes up the display when long command lines are being edited I never had these problems myself so I told him to upgrade instead of downgrade (what the zsh maintainer advised). I figured I'd better weigh in here on this before my words get used in someone elses battle. :) For the record, I've advocated both downgrading to 1.5.5 or using the latest snapshot, depending on the users environment, skill and needs. My debate with Larry Hall on this is in the archives. Also, for the record, I've just tried the latest snapshot, 20040306, and running missing commands do not hang or have any other strange behaviour as your describe: ([EMAIL PROTECTED])[101] ~ % les zsh: correct 'les' to 'ls' [nyae]? n zsh: command not found: les zsh: 1240 exit 127 les ([EMAIL PROTECTED])[102] ~ % /bin/les zsh: no such file or directory: /bin/les zsh: 1245 exit 127 /bin/les ([EMAIL PROTECTED])[103] ~ % uname -a CYGWIN_NT-4.0 garfunkel 1.5.8s(0.111/4/2) 20040306 23:59:38 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin ([EMAIL PROTECTED])[104] ~ % cygcheck -s | grep zsh zsh 4.1.1-3 ([EMAIL PROTECTED])[105] ~ % setopt | grep correct correct correctall ([EMAIL PROTECTED])[106] ~ % If you truly had a problem I am sure that you would have reported it prior to this point rather than implying that it worked. This is just a tiny problems for me. There was a real problem with zsh where *completion* took a long time (it tried to do DNS lookup - according to my Personal Firewall - and timed out when I wasn't online and no DNS was available). This is gone. The other problem is no problem for me because I use the completion and therefor the correct mechanism is /very rarely/ triggered. After that zsh caches the answer and replies immdiately zsh: no such file or directory. (If I'm so dumb to try it again.) My example above has both correct and correctall on and I don't experience any problems no matter how many times I try to run a bad command. This goes for weither zsh tries to correct the command or not. But please be aware that there may be different problems. The one I described is with the correct function of zsh (and I figured that out just today). Davide Marchignoli's problem seems to be different: % aoidfjkl# immediately: zsh: command not found: aoidfjklj % /bin/aoidfjklj # hangs for about ten seconds until zsh: no such file or directory: /bin/aoidfjklj Sorry, mine returnes immediately, no delay at all. And this is on an old 400MHz PII running under a vmware emulator. Oh, and I tried this same setup, with the latest snapshot on a 1.7Ghz system running MS Windows native without any problems either. I also tried both of these on network mounted drives and didn't have any delays or problems. I feel you should examine your environment thoroughly. Perhaps you have more than one copy of cygwin1.dll in your PATH? When you last upgraded, are you sure you existing all cygwin based processes before starting a new shell window? Thorsten -- Peter A.
