From: bosman AT clariion DOT com (Brian Osman) Subject: Erratic Behavior Outside Bash 11 Aug 1998 16:09:39 -0700 Message-ID: <35D05A12.23C3EBFE.cygnus.gnu-win32@clariion.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: GNUWin32 Hi, We've been using the tools to build a medium sized scripting application over the summer. Both devleopers have NT4 with SP3, using B19.1, and we've recently installed the latest coolview. Now that we're approaching the end of development, though, we've hit a snag. Our program (which runs beautifully on our systems under bash) is very erratic when run from the NT command prompt. We've witnessed all of the following behavior: 1) Correct. It runs and does what it's supposed to. 2) It core dumps immediately. 3) It runs, and produces a dialog box titled "16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem" with the following message: "Command Prompt - cit.exe .. The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction .. CS:04f4 IP:1183 OP:f0 03 00 80 23" 4) On subsequent runs (after #3) it exits immediately, without any output or errors. (Though it should always print the usage summary in that case.) Finally, attempting to debug from within NT Command Prompt was fruitless (as I expected.) The program works fine in that case. It appears to only be a problem when the parent process is not a GNU-Win32 application. Has anyone else had these kinds of problems? Any ideas on how to fix them?
