Would the job be easier in my case, where I have a repeatable crash? I provided strace output in the earlier thread about my autossh problems, but haven't tried using any debug builds of cygwin1.dll. I'm not conversant with debuggers, but I have used gdb before and could work my way through it. Let me know if this would be useful, and how best to go about it. Of course there's no guarantee that my crash and David's have the same cause, but they might well and it would be as good a place as any to start. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
