When I install the following (the latest?) cygwin release: C:\cygwin.new\bin>uname -a CYGWIN_NT-4.0 WKSTN000Y 1.3.18(0.69/3/2) 2002-12-25 15:37 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin and try to build our rather large project using cygwin (make, etc.), this version of cygwin prints a bunch of these at various points in the recursive build: 56 [main] sh 378 pthread_mutex::nativeMutex::lock: Received unexpected wait result -1 on handle 0xF0, Win32 error 6 1036 [main] sh 378 pthread_mutex::nativeMutex::lock: Received unexpected wait result -1 on handle 0xF0, Win32 error 6 followed eventually by this: 90 [main] sh 344 fhandler_base::dup: dup(/dev/pipew) failed, handle 3C, Win32 error 6 505 [main] sh 344 spawn_guts: couldn't create handle to myself for child, Win32 error 6 The above results in a spawned sh process that just spins. Upon ^C'ing the build, the various make process (there are about 5 or so stacked up - it is a recursive build) slowly one by one kill themselves, and after about 30 seconds, the command prompt returns. However, the sh process has become a parentless process, and just spins sucking up resources. It has to be manually killed. When I re-install the previous cygwin we have been using: C:\cygwin\bin>.\uname -a CYGWIN_NT-4.0 WKSTN000Y 1.3.9(0.51/3/2) 2002-01-21 12:48 i686 unknown everything is fine. The build completes. This is on a NT4.0+SP6a. I would be happy to supply more info or run a debug build or whatever. thanks! -sandy This e-mail message and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.
