I have on my webpage an explanation of Update Cygwin and a > section of that covers snapshots, you may wish to read it. The reason I posted in this thread is because someone else posted a bug which a Cygwin developer claimed was fixed in the 20001012 snapshot. I have encountered the same bug, so I attempted to drop the snapshot in place to fix it. That did not work; in fact, it made the problem worse. So I asked what I could do to help debug the problem. I did try the most recent snapshots. Did you read my initial message? I am aware that snapshots were untested. I was trying to (a) be helpful by pointing out that the snapshots which supposedly fixed a bug in fact appear to have made the bug worse, at least on NT 4.0 MP systems, and (b) find out what I could do to help debug the problem and get it fixed, since it is affecting us and I'd like to see it fixed. I know how to update Cygwin and how to drop in new snapshots. Now, I'll say again: The most recent snapshots do not fix the "handle_exceptions" problems which were reported at the beginning of this thread. In fact, they appear to make the probem worse, at least on NT 4.0 MP systems. What can I do to help get this fixed? jik -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
