Ah! Well I didn't have sshd set as depending upon cygserver (I do not).

Ok, that's done. > Start Task Manager/Performance tab/Open Resource Monitor link at bottom/ > /Resource Monitor/Memory tab/Physical Memory pane at bottom/ > Free should never go much below 100MB and trouble is almost certain > if you ever hit single digits even for an instant. Well, I'm certainly not watching task manager for 11-12 hours straight. :) However, I seem to continuously have at least 2GiB free. > Ensure that all Cygwin dlls including anything you build are included > in every rebase, and do an incremental rebase after every build. Hmm, so how do I do this? Is this something that the gcc build *should* be doing? If this is really required, I will open a gcc bug report for it. > BTDT PITA I've done a lot of work at the system and kernel level and this SCREAMS race condition to me -- and not necessarily in Cygwin. In fact, I would venture to guess that we're dealing with more than one serious issue and I don't know where they are. It is not at all uncommon for a very common piece of software to have a race condition that is never exposed on one OS but is exposed on another -- this is very common when running programs on Wine, for instance. At current, I seem to be able to run the tests single threaded (one at a time) and get no broken pipes and only 8 time-outs. I suppose that is close enough, but I have 8 total tests that need to be run (cygwin-64, cygwin-32, mingw64 and mingw64 -- both with and without my patches). So this may simply take me many, many days to complete. I'm experimenting with running under wine, but bash.exe is crashing right now (although my Wine had the staging patches, so building w/o them :) Daniel Daniel -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
