Obviously, you are not obliged to replay, not to take care of problems. As you can see from this mailing list, after installing the cygwin package 1.5.17-1 (26-27 May) I had a problem with Emacs: it took all CPU (100%) and its window did not appear, but downgrading to 1.5.16-1 Emacs worked fine. After many attemps to solve the problem I decided to reinstall ALL Cygwin from scratch (i.e. deleting C:\cygwin, key registry etc.) I had almost all packages installed (only gcc-test-suite, ghostscript native, regex and xwinclip was not installed). ======================================================== After this reinstall (good news) EMACS WORKED FINE with Cygwin 1.5.17-1!!! (Also Emacs 21.3.50-2-test worked!) ======================================================== Now the bad news. Seeing these good things, I decided to reinstall others X-applications. In particular I reinstalled ROOT which is a CERN applications. Normally I rebuild and install it. This application has some tests that I run after every rebuild. Between these tests, there is a program (stress.exe) that, with some Cygwin version (not always), has a core dump: "unable to remap..." and the problem is caused by some DLL. (in this case: *** unable to remap C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\cygXpm-4.dll to same address as parent(0x2B70000) != 0x2B80000 173 [main] stress 1084 fork_parent: child 1184 died waiting for dll loading and Aborted (core dumped) ) It is more than an year that I have discovered the cure to this: run the command rebaseall -v from a std bash shell (as suggested me someone from the mailing list). =============================================================== So even this time I have rebased and the test work, but...Emacs DOES NOT!!! i.e. after rebasing Emacs has the some problems described above. =============================================================== With the versions of Cygwin, previous to 1.5.17-1, there were not problems in rebasing.
