Well, here is a simple test case, but turns out I wasn't using the=20
latest version. I was having the problem on 1.5.12, I haven't been=20
able to get a good build with cygwin 1.5.17-1. It builds and I can run=20
the install script, but when I put the dll in place I see the message=20
"cygheap magic number mismatch detected", and gcc doesn't want to work.
I followed the instructions on the FAQ page for building cygwin. Also=20
the only line that I changed was in winsup/cygwin/include/pthread.h,=20
line 56
from
#define PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK
to
#define PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
On the unmodified cygwin 1.5.17, the parent lock returns 45 (EDEADLK)
