I have included some additional information below to explain the problems to developer's mailing list. I am running Windows 98 on a Pentium machine, with egcs 1.02 and binutils 2.9.1. The problems below occur with either ash or bash installed as /bin/sh. Whilst doing a configure I got the following messages. Several times during the display of the messages the pc hung for a while (maybe a minute). When the machine was hung I could move the mouse pointer around, but otherwise the machine did not respond at all. checking for working const... yes [main] D:\CYGNUS\B19\H-I386-CYGWIN32\BIN\SH.EXE 1003 (0) sig_send: sig_send: wai t for sig_complete event failed, sig -3, rc 258, error 6 [main] SH 1003 (60) sig_send: sig_send: wait for sig_complete event failed, sig -3, rc 258, error 6 [main] SH 1003 (60) sig_send: sig_send: wait for sig_complete event failed, sig -3, rc 258, error 6 [main] SH 1003 (60) sig_send: sig_send: wait for sig_complete event failed, sig -3, rc 258, error 6 [main] SH 1003 (60) sig_send: sig_send: wait for sig_complete event failed, sig -3, rc 258, error 6 checking for dirent.h that defines DIR... I had further trouble doing a configure, and the attached script is the reduced version of the file that causes the error to occur. I saw the following messages: BASH.EXE-2.02$ ./crash [main] D:\CYGNUS\B19\H-I386-CYGWIN32\BIN\SH.EXE 1007 (0) _read: WaitForMultipleO bjects failed, error 87 [main] SH 1007 (0) _read: couldn't decommit stack memory 0x2C(4194304) for read of /dev/piper, error 6 cygwin: Fatal problem in read/write thread [main] SH 1007 (0) _read: WaitForMultipleObjects failed, error 87 [main] SH 1007 (0) _read: couldn't decommit stack memory 0x10600000(33583104) fo r read of /dev/piper, error 6 cygwin: Fatal problem in read/write thread BASH.EXE-2.02$ These problems occur often enough to make the system unusable. The 980812 winsup snapshot was stable enough for me to be able to configure + build egcs, but the current snapshot is no good. I do not have access to a Windows 95 machine to test, but I would not be surprised if similar problems occurred. --=====================_905995114==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="crash" #! /bin/sh echo | a=`echo | echo blah` > file1 cat > ./file2 <
