Thanks, Eric.
Uname: CYGWIN_NT 5.0 .... 1.3.12 (0.54.3.2) 2002-07-06 02:16
Complete CYGCHECK output appended (.zip)
Another datapoint: I tried firing up CYGSERVER and doing the make.
Aha! It ran to completion -- still errors of some sort but none of the
Win exceptions.
That introduced other troubles, I'll post that later and try to keep
this thread focused.
The other thing was terminating all the many aps I have in the
system tray ( except ZA and my antivirus ) and then keeping my hands
off while it ran so nothing was perturbing the memory allocations.
Having CYGSERVER change things so completely makes me suspect that
IPC is related to the problem -- I don't know what else changes when the
server is active; also watching a ProcessExplorer display shows the
server IPC resources very very active.
