No, that's not it. At least for me. I've been experiencing these
problems for at least one month, I've rebooted many times since then, if
only to try different versions of Cygwin, including cvs pulled ones.
On another topic, I've let my script run under strace overnight, and
after more than 1 million iterations (and 60+ GB of logs), it still
hadn't crashed/hung. Sorry.
From Michael's strace, it looks like he's running into a problem
similar to mine (see my gdb traces) : when it hangs, the child is
closing the reading end of a pipe while the parent is reading from a
pipe (the same one ?).
Michael: can you confirm you have a similar trace from gdb ? That is :
* on the parent
- 2 threads in ReadFile
- 2 threads in WaitForMultipleObjects
- 1 thread in DbgUiConnectToDbg
* on the child
- 1 thread in CloseHandle
- 1 thread in ReadFile
- 1 thread in DbgUiConnectToDbg
