Subject: FCNTL.DLL causes illegal instruction w/ perl since upgrade
MIME-Version: 1.0
Message-ID: <5BDE78A2.1D3A52E4.53864CF0@netscape.net>

Hi,

I recently upgraded to version 2.340.2.5 of cygwin on Win 98 SE and am seeing the following behavior:

anything having to do with fcntl.dll generates the following error in Windows (not an error from the cygwin console):

This program has perfromed an illegal operation and will be shutdown. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor:

PERL caused an invalid page fault in
module FCNTL.DLL at 017f:00b93198.
Registers:
EAX=00000000 CS=017f EIP=00b93198 EFLGS=00010246

Stack dump:

This type of error message can be generated from something as simple as "perldoc -f print" to the following example script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use Fcntl;
#use GDBM_File;
#use File::Basename;

# Global Variables - Section to change
#
my($hostname, $os, $kjp, $hw, $uplength, %thehost, @egz, %hostpatches);
my(@patchlist, @rootpatchlist, %hostrootpatches, $update, @sortrootpatchlist);

my @efiles = qw(one
                two
                three);
@egz = qw(foo);

foreach my $j (@egz) {
        foreach my $i (@efiles) {
                        system("ls");
        }
}

If I comment out use Fcntl; - the error does not occur. If I click on OK the script keeps on chugging and i get the desired results (My original code was much more complex - i just do an ls here). In the example code the error is generated in the foreach loop so I get it the error 3 times - but it still chugs through. I found two Fcntl.dll: one for perl and one for python. Here is the perl dll:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 foo   mkgroup     19968 Mar 30 12:18 /lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-
multi-64int/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.dll

Is there another Fcntl.dll I should be looking for? Can anyone give me direction on how to troubleshoot this problem further?

JIM
