1.3.11(CVS): Possible bug involving temp file generation


Hi,

System: CYGWIN_ME-4.90 DRAGON 1.3.11(0.53/3/2) 2002-06-04 09:27 i686

I just downloaded and compiled the latest CVS sources, and have installed
them.  I'm not sure where this might be occuring, but this is the behavior
I am experiencing that was not happening with CVS sources compiled 2 days
ago.  Here's the error I am getting:

patch: **** can't create `/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/TEMP/po319437' : Bad file
number

Note:  I have the following set in autoexec.bat for use by other programs,
and I haven't had trouble in the past, so I don't think using that area
for temp files is the problem.

SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP

These directories do exist, and have r/w permissions on them.  I have
plenty of space on the hard drive.

To reproduce the error, download the cygutils-1.0.0-1-src.tar.bz2 file,
untar it.  Make sure you have set the above environmental variables (if
they matter?).  Then run ./cygutils-1.0.0-1.sh prep.  That should
reproduce the error, at least it did on my WinME system.  I then ran:

strace patch -p0 < cygutils-1.0.0-1.patch | cat > strace.log

I then tar'ed it up to /stacktrace.tar and ran:

bzip2 -9 strace.results.tar

producing the this error plus a 0-byte file:

bzip2: Can't create output file strace.results.tar.bz2: Bad file number.

(I had to upload it to a linux box for compression.)

I have attached the stackdump, log, and cygcheck output for your
reference.  If you need anymore information, let me know.



Cheers,
Nicholas
