I know for sure where the crash occures but I need some more info because I can't reproduce it on my machine and I can't understand the why it happens: 1. Do you have a file which name starts with 'apache' in /etc/setup/ - if yes please attach in your response. 2. Are you willing to run a setup.exe provided by me ? I'll include some debugging messages so we can know what exactly happens. For setup.exe developers: The crash is in compress_gz::destroy - the place where 'original' is deleted. I suppose this happens when the object used to read the /etc/setup/apache*.lst.gz is destroyed or something :) Are there any other places where compress_gz is used ? I don't recall other .gz files except those in /etc/setup. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
