Today I upgraded to 1.7.5 from 1.5.x. At first I just did the upgrade, then after having instability issues, I nuked all cygwin from my computer and did a fresh install. I'm having the same problems. Mostly I run cygwin to run X so I can display stuff to the screen from my Linux machines, or to run latex/xdvi and use gvim as my editor. Here are the symptoms: 1.I run most processes from xterm or rxvt which are spawned after I run startxwin. Processes like gvim will just freeze for seconds at a time before I get a response. Same with xdvi, and same goes with the rxvt or xterm processes - I'll try to enter a command and it will just sit there. This is especially bad if I start doing else like browsing for a while. It's as if cygwin is being "put to sleep" or something. 2. I'm getting errors like this, often in conjunction with the "freezy" behavior: anne-laptop:/home/orf/cmu/proposal/ncsa2008% gvim mrac2008.tex =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 3 [main] gvim 23216 C:\cygwin\bin\gvim.exe: *** fatal error= - unable to remap \\?\C:\cygwin\lib\gtk-2.0\2.10.0\loaders\cygpixbufloader-xpm.dll to same address as parent: 0x3C0000 !=3D 0xB30000 =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 3 [main] gvim 24296 fork: child 23216 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11 12857749 [main] gvim 23200 C:\cygwin\bin\gvim.exe: *** fatal error - unable to remap \\?\C:\cygwin\lib\gtk-2.0\2.10.0\loaders\cygpixbufloader-xpm.dll to same address as parent: 0x3C0000 !=3D 0x3F0000 12862816 [main] gvim 24296 fork: child 23200 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11 14675239 [main] gvim 21608 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOL= ATION 14675715 [main] gvim 21608 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to gvim.exe.stackdump 15940412 [main] gvim 23816 C:\cygwin\bin\gvim.exe: *** fatal error - unable to remap \\?\C:\cygwin\lib\gtk-2.0\2.10.0\loaders\cygpixbufloader-xpm.dll to same address as parent: 0x3C0000 !=3D 0xB30000 16075867 [main] gvim 24296 fork: child 23816 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11 16252786 [main] gvim 21340 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOL= ATION 16253432 [main] gvim 21340 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to gvim.exe.stackdump 16779881 [main] gvim 23724 C:\cygwin\bin\gvim.exe: *** fatal error - unable to remap \\?\C:\cygwin\lib\gtk-2.0\2.10.0\loaders\cygpixbufloader-xpm.dll to same address as parent: 0x3C0000 !=3D 0xB30000 16785018 [main] gvim 24296 fork: child 23724 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11 39807754 [main] gvim 24296 fork: child 22076 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11 1256472405 [main] gvim 21732 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 1256472904 [main] gvim 21732 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to gvim.exe.stackdump 1257056351 [main] gvim 22724 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 1257057299 [main] gvim 22724 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to gvim.exe.stackdump I am spawning processes such as latex and xdvi from gvim using Tex-Suite, but the problems are not limited to this configuration. 3. When I click on a background cygwin window (like rxvt or xterm) the windows OS will not bring it to the foreground immediately. It stays in the background for as long as 10 seconds or so, or requires me to right-click on the taskbar which seems to wake it up. During this time period the CPU is not doing anything and the hard drive light does not indicate significant (or any) activity. I do have Windows Defender and Logitech webcam software on the computer, which I read sometimes conflicted. I disabled the webcam software and am convinced that Defender isn't the problem because it only runs once in a while; however I will disable it if need be. I only started having these problems with 1.7.5. Thanks for any pointers.
