I came up with a simple Ruby snippet that reproduces the problem. I'd appreciate it if other Cygwin users would try it. You can change the "cause_failure = true" line to say false and it will run. --urandom_test.rb------ # Test failure of reading /dev/urandom after failed require # this method is from the Rails' source secret_key_generator.rb def generate_secret_with_urandom return File.read("/dev/urandom", 64).unpack("H*")[0] end cause_failure = true begin require 'nonexistent_file' rescue LoadError puts '' unless cause_failure end puts generate_secret_with_urandom ----------------------- So far, the strace output of this is too low level for me to follow. Perhaps it will be clear to a regular Cygwin hacker. BTW, I'm running "ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-cygwin]".
