Hi,
I want to insist on Earl message because I have seen no answer and I think
it is very similar (if not equal) to the problem I related in cygwin Issue 4105:
"env command seems to take all CPU".
Since then I had the same problem again occurring sometime with a "stucked" Perl script:
its execution was finished and it did not want to "really" end because its header
was "#!/usr/bin/env perl" and the "env" command was stucked.
I had to kill the "env" process with the Windows task manager and Perl script did then end normally.
I tried to reproduce it in a systematic way with no success.
Best regards,
Yves

Subject: Hyperthreaded machine and cygwin
I'd like some guidance or suggestions as to how to debug a
problem that I suspect has to do with my hyperthreaded cpu machine.
The symptom is that I have two build scripts executing. The scripts
traverse directories, use make, bash, sh, perl, etc. I have two
hyperthreaded cpus running XP, and very quickly the PC locks with 25%
of the time spent running some cygwin application (mostly sh.exe, but
once it was perl.exe).
Once the machine locks, it's unusable, though it continues to spin
on the stuck application.
The only way I can recover is to power cycle the machine.
I've tried cygwin-1.5.12 and cygwin.1.5.13-1.
Earl
