All the same type of failures I was seeing with the cvs (with --enable-debugging). Unfortunitely, the ethernet card on my home machine broke so for now I'll upload one of the strace files to a geocites site. Nothing looks suspicious to me in the strace, maybe it's a bug in make? http://www.geocities.com/endlisnis/Temp/freeze.zip What I did notice is that I'm getting a tonne of failures "make: *** virtual memory exhausted. Stop." grep'ing through the make source (which I was unable to compile) I see that this can happen when malloc returns NULL (makes sense from the message), and I can say that my machine has plenty of memory left. 1Gig of ram, and my commit charge never exheaded 500Megs during the whole test. I have my 'heap_chunk_in_mb' set to 1024. -Rolf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
