OK, I'm running it now and have attached gdb to it. The good news is that I've been running it for a couple hours with no crash, and I've used texworks and have opened many tex files and pdf files in it without a problem. The bad news is that texworks becomes unresponsive and has to be killed whenever I try to compile a tex file. I have no idea whether this is due to an X server problem or something completely different. Anyway, I'll post a backtrace if the server crashes. In case you want to try to reproduce the current problem, start texworks, open a tex file (such as the file test1.tex whose contents I listed at the beginning of this thread), and click on the icon at the left end of the toolbar (brown triangle on a green background). This is supposed to cause test1.tex to get compiled, but for me it just causes texworks to become unresponsive. This was working properly with the previous version of the X server (until the server crashed). Thanks for testing this X server snapshot. For me, the problem of texworks hanging only occurs very intermittently. It seems to be blocked deep in QtCore, waiting for the spawned process to terminate (which has already happened). Attaching to the texworks process, I get a backtrace like this: (gdb) bt #0 0x7c90e514 in ntdll!LdrAccessResource () from /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/ntdll.dll #1 0x7c90df4a in ntdll!ZwWaitForMultipleObjects () from /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/ntdll.dll #2 0x7c809590 in KERNEL32!CreateFileMappingA () from /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/kernel32.dll #3 0x7c80a115 in WaitForMultipleObjects () from /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/kernel32.dll #4 0x610ce614 in select_stuff::wait(_types_fd_set*, _types_fd_set*, _types_fd_set*, unsigned long) () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll #5 0x610cf02b in cygwin_select () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll #6 0x610d33d5 in _sigfe () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll #7 0x0022b87c in ??
