Hi Gerrit,
Thanks for the Perl update.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to fix the problem I reported earlier
("Perl Win32::Shortcut screws up fork"). My test script worked fine
after "rebaseall", but when I reinstalled Cygwin from scratch (including
Perl 5.8.7-2) it dies with
C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe (3772): *** unable to remap
C:\cygwin\lib\perl5\vendor_perl\5.8\cygwin\auto\Win32\Shortcut\Shortcut.
dll to same address as parent(0x950000) != 0xBF0000
17 [main] perl 3448 fork_parent: child 3772 died waiting for dll
loading
The addresses are now different, if that's any consolation (previously
it reported parent(0xBF0000) != 0x1110000).
Presumably "rebaseall" will fix it again, but I'll keep the pristine
Cygwin installation for further tests if that's helpful.
Apologies if I was being overoptimistic and this release (alone) wasn't
expected to fix my problem.
Tim.
