Sometimes bash hangs sucking up all the CPU time. Time to reproduce the problem varies from 5 minutes to one and half days. Once this happens any command on other bash windows fail with "bash: fork : No more processes" error. It is possible to create processes (and threads) which have nothing to do cygwin (such as invoking notepad). I am using b20.1, bash version 2.02.1(2). It seems there is a thread leak in cygnus compatibility layer. It seems to maintain some sort of table of threads which is running out of space causing fork() to fail (thougts?). Number of threads in the system goes up significantly after this problem is seen. Any help is greatly appreciated. regards, Prabhakar ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ Prabhakar Goyal Voice-mail: (408)-542-1630 Integrated Systems Inc., 201 Moffett Park Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089 e-mail: pgoyal@isi.com http://www.isi.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
