The problems can described as below: 1. It seems that main execution thread randomly hangs while the dispatched threads are joined or collected. It happens more often when memory gets tighter. 2. When I tried to trace it using gdb, it always crashes and leave a stack without much information. In the stack it only has kernel32, setThreadExecutionState, and get_retrant() system calls in it. Sorry that I can not offer a simplified test case. I hope it will help people who already handled the problem to look into it again. It is the same whether I use 1.15.2 release or the snap shot of Nov 17 of cygwin. Though it seems happening less often in Nov 17 snap hot. Thanks if anyone can offer insight into this. -Peter -- 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/
