Subject: snapshots dated 20140210 fail

Hello,

I use XP SP3 with 32 bits and also Seven 32 bits. Today i could exercise 4 new snapshots.

The first two had the same problem (tested on XP): it seems that every program that has to perform something in connection with user/id/passwd etc. produces a stackdump (id, tar etc.).

The last two (the last one is dated 18:34:44 UTC) had the same problem (first tested on XP, second on Seven): windows produces a message showing ‘bash.exe’ complaining that cygwin1.dll is not a valid windows image.

After that, i’m back into 1.7.28-2 or snapshot-dated-20140209. But which one is the latest? Compare the following:

With snapshot-dated-20140909, cat /proc/version | tr ‘\100’ ‘Z’ produces:
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 version 1.7.29s(0.271/5/3) (cgfZ) (gcc version 4.7.3 20130411 (Fedora Cygwin 4.7.3-1) (GCC) ) 20140209 18:32:26
while cygwin-1.7.28-2 produces:
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 version 1.7.28(0.271/5/3) (corinnaZcalimero.vinschen.de) (gcc version 4.8.2 20131016 (Fedora Cygwin 4.8.2-2) (GCC) ) 2014-02-09 21:06

Ok, the first one is from Seven, the second one is from XP. But, since this is local time, it’s perhaps ok that the time of 1.7.29s is _before_ 1.7.28-2. But what for the
format of this `uname -v` part? Dashes or not? Seconds or not?

By the way, after comparison of cygwin-1.7.28-2-src.tar.xz and cygwin-src-20140209.tar.xz, none of them contains/supersedes the other one.

I can live with this. However the snapshots don’t work for me.

Regards,

Denis Excoffier.
