To whom it may concern,

(tried to find a bug list for cygwin, but this is the best I could do - apologies if
it is the wrong place.)

When I install the following (the latest?) cygwin release:

C:\cygwin.new\bin>uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 WKSTN000Y 1.3.18(0.69/3/2) 2002-12-25 15:37 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin

and try to build our rather large project using cygwin (make, etc.),
this version of cygwin prints a bunch of these at various points in the
recursive build:

     56 [main] sh 378 pthread_mutex::nativeMutex::lock: Received unexpected wait result -1 on handle 0xF0, Win32 error 6
   1036 [main] sh 378 pthread_mutex::nativeMutex::lock: Received unexpected wait result -1 on handle 0xF0, Win32 error 6

followed eventually by this:

     90 [main] sh 344 fhandler_base::dup: dup(/dev/pipew) failed, handle 3C, Win32 error 6
    505 [main] sh 344 spawn_guts: couldn't create handle to myself for child, Win32 error 6

The above results in a spawned sh process that just spins.  Upon ^C'ing the build,
the various make process (there are about 5 or so stacked up - it is a
recursive build) slowly one by one kill themselves, and after about 30 seconds,
the command prompt returns.  However, the sh process has become a parentless
process, and just spins sucking up resources.  It has to be manually killed.

When I re-install the previous cygwin we have been using:

C:\cygwin\bin>.\uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 WKSTN000Y 1.3.9(0.51/3/2) 2002-01-21 12:48 i686 unknown

everything is fine.  The build completes.

This is on a NT4.0+SP6a.

I would be happy to supply more info or run a debug build or whatever.

thanks!
