Just an FYI: Cygwin's fork() implementation has an intermittent bug
when running on Windows Vista Beta 2
(Beta 2 will be released to the general public soon).
Here's an example error (from running bash -l ):

The test case I originally sent in to demonstrate the problem was using
pdksh, not bash,
so the problem isn't isolated to bash
P.s. Sorry about the top post -- Lotus notes seems to force it to be that
way.

argv and argc are concepts from the C runtime, not the Windows OS.
The actual entry point to your program is to a routine that calls the
initialization routines of the C library, then calls winMain.
Those initialization routines get the command line via Win32 call,

First, you have the name wrong.

Cygwin1.dll problem with Hyperthreaded machines (reprise)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi everyone,
This msg relates to an earlier one at
http://sou
While it's not hard to delete the rouge "nul" files, it is a recent change
to cygwin that allows them to be created at all.
1.5.9 seemed to treat "NUL" in the normal windows way (equivalent of
/dev/null), so didn't create these files.
1.5.10 changed so Cygwin no longer recognizes windows specia
orward it to the list, complete with
email addresses for spam harvesters.
I've never understood why people like to advertise their failed attempts
to send email in this way.

I've been running into a lot of problems with Cygwin on hyperthreaded
machines, when those machines are heavily loaded.
For example, if I run this script:
#! /bin/ksh
mypath=$(pwd)
while [[ ! -z $mypath ]]
do
mypath=$(pwd)
if [[ -z $mypath ]]
then
echo "Test Failed..Path is empty"
fi
I've been running into some severe problems with using Cygwin on
Hyperthreaded machines.
The problem mostly occurs when capturing the stdout from a program with
the backquote operator,
or using the shell command in makefiles. The captured values end up as
blank sometimes.
For example, in my
