Ha Ha!
The bug I have been digging into (with my Dell laptop)
that I first saw in cygwin also manifests from the
Win2000 command prompt, with no involvement by cygwin
at all.
Soooooo................
What list do people suggest I go to with this Win 2000
bug?
Any suggestions?
Here is the WIN script I used, called win_crashme.cmd:
echo off
pslist | grep Pid
:top
pslist pslist | grep pslist
goto top
and here was the command I used to jam Win2000:
win_crashme > w1.txt 2>&1
where pslist.exe is from the pstools distribution of
Mark Russinovich of www.systeminternals.com, and grep
is a free version off the web-
The loop ran about 4000 iterations in less than 5
minutes and jammed WIN so well that I took the battery
out. The high PID appeared to lead to the jam. The
PID did not increase monotonically, just damn close.
Here are a few groups of consecutive lines of just the
process name and PID (= WINPID):
Name Pid
pslist 400
pslist 2052
pslist 2888
pslist 1984
pslist 3480
pslist 3552
pslist 3568
pslist 3572
pslist 3584
pslist 3592
pslist 3600
...
pslist 33188
pslist 33196
pslist 2060
pslist 33208
pslist 33216
pslist 33224
pslist 33232
pslist 33240
...
pslist 33440
pslist 33448
pslist 2980
pslist 33460
pslist 33468
pslist 33476
...
pslist 36908
pslist 36916
pslist 36924

Any suggestions?
I am not the sort to mess with Windows on the machine
my employer gave me, so I wonder why things are weird
with it. I can not remember even touching the
registry until I tried debugging cygwin.

Mike W.
