I don't know why I didn't get the reply in email, but this is representative of the real world code.

Ok, here is a small demonstration of the problem.

#include <stdlib.h> 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

unsigned __stdcall thread(void* p)
{
  unsigned i;
  for (i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
   system("./a.exe");
  return 0;
}

int main()
{
unsigned i;
HANDLE threads[100] = {0};
FILE* f = fopen("a.c", "w");
fprintf(f, "int main() { return 0; }\n");
fclose(f);

system("g++ a.c");

for (i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
 threads[i] = CreateThread(0, 0, thread, 0,0,0);

for (i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
 WaitForSingleObject(threads[i], -1);

}

I understand I can workaround this, in that the use of threads is silly.

Is this invalid, to mix Win32 threads with cygwin system()?

Um, I know this isn't (yet) diligent/scientific, but must system create this thread?

'cause i.e. it complicates any lifetime/management.
I do understand some of the problems here, like needing separate threads to read stdout/stderr, if they are not equal.

Subject: proc_waiter: error on read of child wait pipe 0x0, Win32 error 6 

I get this a lot:

      0 [waitproc] cm3 7641 proc_waiter: error on read of child wait pipe 0x0, Win32 error 6
    452 [waitproc] cm3 7641 proc_waiter: error on read of child wait pipe 0x0, Win32 error 6
    716 [waitproc] cm3 7641 proc_waiter: error on read of child wait pipe 0x0, Win32 error 6
   1652 [waitproc] cm3 7641 proc_waiter: error on read of child wait pipe 0x0, Win32 error 6
      0 [main] sh 7775 C:\cygwin64\bin\sh.exe: *** fatal error - internal error reading the windows environment - too many environment variables?

Scenario is multi-threaded "launching" a bunch of invocations of gcc.
"launching" was usually spawnve or fork/execve but I changed the code to use system and it still happens.
I might try to make a small reproducing, if this is not known.
It seems a bit difficult to believe I could cause this internal looking error.

Thank you,
 - Jay
