I have just been looking into installing one of the later versions of
cygwin1.dll (to overcome the bug with the doubling up of .. and . file name
components which was screwing up the install of the grep 2.3 package).
However, all the recent snapshots that I've tried, including as far back as
July, have a serious problem with a long (2+ seconds) pause before many
programs run. This doesn't happen at all with the .dll dated 1/16/99. Bash
internal commands (like cd) don't have the pause problem and with some
programs the pause is shorter.
In fact, things are so screwed up under the 9/14 snapshot that vim needs to
get several key presses before it will finish painting the terminal window
and each command needs a few keypresses after it before it appears to be
performed.
I wrote a short script:
#!/bin/ksh
ls | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat >/dev/null
When I run it in a directory with 21 plain files, it takes 5 seconds to
return to the prompt. With the 1/16 .dll, it takes less than 1 second.
How can I diagnose what's going on?
BTW, I looked in the 5/23 cyginw-inst tarball (which I had previously
downloaded) for strace but only found strace.h. Where is strace.exe to be
found?
I'm including cygcheck -s -v output. I notice that the mount info seems to
be screwed up. Could this be the problem? However, when I do a mount
command, I get:
Device Directory Type Flags
D: / user binmode
A: /a/a user binmode
C: /c user binmode
Why would cygcheck's mount information be different than mount's?
