I don't know if it's worth to wait for the fix. > It would be nice if I could reproduce it under a debugger :-( > If you are referring to "malloc returns overlapping buffers", I was able to get it to fail under the debugger by increasing the malloc size in the test case from 8000 to 16000. It then segfaults instead of returning overlapping buffers, but that's presumably a bug too, and likely a different manifestation of the same bug. I know that the stack trace for that case in my original post was not too useful because there was no debugging information in the cygwin dll, but I've since built cygwin from CVS and gotten a proper stack trace. Unfortunately, it's at work and I won't be back there till Monday. But if it would be useful to you I'll make an extra trip in.
