I wasn't exactly sure of how to classify this to enter it as an official bug. Also I using a combination of software that I am certain is out of the ordinary. First I'll discuss the assertion, then my environment.
What I am seeing is the following message: assertion "!pPager->noSync" failed: file "src/pager.c", line 1168 This is on SQLite version 2.8.12. I am not quite sure what might be causing this or where to begin looking for a solution. My situation is that I am running cscvs, http://wiki.gnuarch.org/moin.cgi/cscvs, in an attempt to convert a CVS repository into a tla archive. Specifically I am running "cscvs cache -b", which basically reads the output of "cvs -q log" and generates an SQLite database with information about the archive. IIRC this portion of cscvs is basically a clone of ViewCVS. Now what is exceptional about my situation is that I am doing this on Windows 2000 under Cygwin. I have compiled, tested and installed SQLite with the default settings. After a minor patch that I submitted and dougcourie committed yesterday, all of the tests run without error. This gives me an SQLite that uses Microsoft-style paths. I tried changing the compile time flags to use "-DOS_UNIX=1 -DOS_WIN=0", since I was running under Cygwin, but this failed horribly from the start, so I switched back to the default version that produces a somewhat hybrid result. I call it a hybrid, because while it is compiled with Cygwin, which is a POSIX-style environment, it still uses Microsoft-style paths. The cscvs program is written in Python, so obviously pysqlite is being used as well. I made a one change to pysqlite so that it can be run with the Cygwin version of Python using Unix style paths. The patch below converts the Unix-style paths to their Win32 equivalents before calling SQLite. diff -ru pysqlite.orig/_sqlite.c pysqlite/_sqlite.c --- pysqlite.orig/_sqlite.c 2003-12-02 07:45:06.000000000 -0600 +++ pysqlite/_sqlite.c 2004-02-17 12:11:48.721687500 -0600 @@ -31,6 +31,11 @@ #include "port/strsep.h" +#ifdef __CYGWIN__ +#include <sys/cygwin.h> +#include <windows.h> +#endif + /* Compatibility macros * * From Python 2.2 to 2.3, the way to export the module init function @@ -252,7 +257,15 @@ } /* Open the database */ +#ifdef __CYGWIN__ + { + char win_path[MAX_PATH]; + cygwin_conv_to_win32_path(db_name, win_path); + obj->p_db = sqlite_open(win_path, mode, &errmsg); + } +#else obj->p_db = sqlite_open(db_name, mode, &errmsg); +#endif if(obj->p_db == 0 || errmsg != NULL) { My Python is: Python 2.3.3 (#1, Dec 30 2003, 08:29:25) [GCC 3.3.1 (cygming special)] on cygwin So far I have made no changes to cscvs itself.

I'm willing to do some foot work myself to help resolve this, but thought someone might be able to at least point me in a general direction, since I know so little about the SQLite code. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
