FOUND IT!!! *dances about crazily* *cough* okay back to reality I thought it was dieing in fopen - but i was wrong - it was dieing in strcasecmp utils/Compilers/GCCDefs.cpp - is very stuffed up it includes string.h and cygwin string.h - #define stricmp strcasecmp - which is the only reason why GCCDefs.cpp exists this causes GCCDefs.cpp to define a function strcasecmp - which calls strcasecmp same thing with strnicmp/strncasecmp so any program which uses strcasecmp (or any program which causes xerces-c to try and call stricmp/strnicmp) - dies with an infinite loop causing stack overflow. this is a porting bug in xerces-c (or a cygwin conformance bug... depending on your point of view) a simple #ifndef __CYGWIN__ around the declaration in GCCDefs.hpp and the definition in GCCDefs.cpp and life is good (or seems to be) Please patch :) Gareth -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
